WARNING

Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including

adjusting the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or

using the third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system

stability, or even cause damage to the components and devices of your system.

It should be done at your own risk and expense. We are not responsible for possible

damage caused by overclocking.

CAUTION!

1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page

41.

2. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before

you implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the

installation guide of memory modules on page 19 for proper installation.

3. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be

less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows®7 /

VistaTM / XP. For Windows®OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limita-

tion.

4. The maximum shared memory size is de ned by the chipset vendor and

is subject to change. Please check Intel®website for the latest informa-

tion.

5. You can choose to use two of the four monitors only. D-Sub, DVI-D and

HDMI monitors cannot be enabled at the same time. Besides, with the

DVI-to-HDMI adapter, the DVI-D port can support the same features as

HDMIport.

6. xvYCC is only supported under Windows®7 64-bit / 7. HBR is supported

under Windows®7 64-bit / 7 / VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM.

7. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono

modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-chan-

nel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 13

for proper connection.

8. ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one tool to ne-tune

different system functions in a user-friendly interface, which is including

Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA and IES. In

Hardware Monitor, it shows the major readings of your system. In Fan

Control, it shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In

Overclocking, you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal

system performance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a

pro le and share with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC

pro le to their own system to get the same OC settings. In IES (Intelligent

Energy Saver), the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output

phases to improve ef ciency when the CPU cores are idle without

sacrificing computing performance. Please visit our website for the

operation procedures of ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU).

ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com

9. ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS ash utility embedded in Flash ROM.

This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS

without entering operating systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows®. With

this utility, you can press <F6> key during the POST or press <F2> key to

BIOS setup menu to access ASRock Instant Flash. Just launch this tool

and save the new BIOS le to your USB ash drive, oppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash utility. Please

be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 le

system.

10. If you desire a faster, less restricted way of charging your Apple devices,

such as iPhone/iPod/iPad Touch, ASRock has prepared a wonderful

solution for you - ASRock APP Charger. Simply installing the APP Char-

ger driver, it makes your iPhone charged much quickly from your com-

puter and up to 40% faster than before. ASRock APP Charger allows you

to quickly charge many Apple devices simultaneously and even supports

continuous charging when your PC enters into Standby mode (S1), Sus-

pend to RAM (S3), hibernation mode (S4) or power off (S5). With APP

Charger driver installed, you can easily enjoy the marvelous charging

experience than ever.
