Environmental Safety Instruction
z Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
z 0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request
of the main chipset)
z Generally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact
malfunction and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from
the welding spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go
through an adaptive phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold
environment to a warmer one to avoid condensation phenomenon. These water
drops attached on PCB or the surface of the components can bring about
phenomena as minor as computer instability resulted from corrosion and oxidation
from components and PCB or as major as short circuit that can burn the
components. Suggest starting the computer until the temperature goes up.
z The increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer.
Using the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher
temperature in the inner of the case.
z Attention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may
decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

Introduction of AMD 780V Motherboard Series
1-1 Features of motherboard
The AMD 780V Series motherboards are based on the latest AMD780V Chipset and SB700
chipset which supports the new generation innovative 64-bit AMD Socket AM2+ dual core
multi-tasking Socket AM2+ Athlon64 X2 processors and dual core AMD Phenom™
processors. With an integrated low-latency high-bandwidth DDR2 memory controller and the
highly-scalable Hyper Transport technology-based system bus which is up to 2000 MHZ,
AMD 780V Platform Processor Chipset motherboard series deliver the outstanding system
performance and professional desktop platform solution with the advantages of new
generation 64-bit AMD Socket AM2 Athlon64 X2 processors, AMD Phenom™ processors
and the fully compatibility of the next generation operation system.
The AMD 780V Series motherboards support new generation Socket AM2+ processors with
an integrated DDR2 memory controller which provides with 333MHz/400MHz/533MHz
memory clock frequencies for DDR2 667/ DDR2 800/ DDR2 1066 DDR2 Module up to 4GB.
The whole motherboard series are embedded with SB700 chipset that provides ULTRA ATA
133 connectors and Serial ATA2 with RAID 0,1 and JBOD functions which support up to two
IDE devices and six Serial ATA2 devices to accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee the data
security without failure in advanced computing performance.
The AMD 780V chipset incorporates HD 3100 Graphics with a core frequency of 350MHz that
features DirectX 10.0 compliant 2D/3D graphics processor. This motherboard series provide
incredible flexibility and unlimited upgrade potential as it supports all Radeon® PCI-E
graphics cards. Designed with ATI’s unique architecture to optimize speed and stability, this
solution is perfect for over-clocking – without the need of additional cooling systems.
The 780V series motherboards provide 10/100/1000 LAN functions with Realtek RTL8111C
PCI-E 10/100/1000 LAN. And the embedded 6-channel HD Audio CODEC is fully
compatible with Sound Blaster Pro standards that offer you with the home cinema quality
and satisfying software compatibility.
The motherboards offer one PCI-Express x16 by 16 lane graphics slot of 8Gbyte/sec data
transfer rate at each relative direction which gets 7 times of bandwidth more than AGP 8X
and it’s up to a peak concurrent bandwidth of 16Gbyte/sec at full speed to guarantee the
ultimate GPU computing performance. Two 32-bit PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity
for the I/O of peripherals; the motherboards are designed of tackling the profuse multimedia
requirements nowadays.
Embedded USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 8 of USB2.0 functional ports
delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth and rich connectivity, these motherboards meet the future
USB demands which are also equipped with hardware monitor function on system to monitor
and protect your system and maintain your non-stop business computing.
Some special features --- CPU Thermal Throttling/ CPU VID /OC-CON this motherboard are
designed for power user to use the over-clocking function in more flexible ways. But please be caution
1
that the over-clocking maybe cause the fails in system reliabilities. This motherboard provides the
guaranteed performance and meets the demands of the next generation computing. But if you insist to
gain more system performance with variety possibilities of the components you choose, please be
careful and make sure to read the detailed descriptions of these value added product features, please
get them in the coming section.
1-1.1 Special Features of Motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling Technology --- (The CPU Overheat Protection Technology)
To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at high
workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter partially idle
mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperature in BIOS (from 40
℃ to 90℃). When the system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset
value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool
down the processor. When at throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to
indicate it is in working.
CPU VID --- (Shift to Higher Performance)
The CPU voltage can be adjusted for the precisely over-clocking of extra demanding
computing performance.
OC-CON --- (High-polymer Solid Electrolysis Aluminum Capacitors)
The working temperature is from 55 degrees Centigrade below zero to 125 degrees
Centigrade, OC-CON capacitors possess superior physical characteristics that can be while
reducing the working temperature between 20 degrees Centigrade each time, intact extension
10 times of effective product operation lives, at not rising degrees Centigrade of working
temperatures each time a relative one, life of product decline 10% only too.
