WARNING

Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Te chnology, or using the thirdparty 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. FSB1333-CPU will operate in overclocking mode.

2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 44.

3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 40 for details.

4. 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 18 for proper installation.

5. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® XP and Windows bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

6. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU.

7. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.

8. 1080p Blu-ray (BD) / HD-DVD playback support on this motherboard requires the proper hardware configuration. Please refer to page10 and 11 for the minimum hardware requirement and the passed 1080p Blu-ray (BD) / HD-DVD films in our lab test.

9. This DVI-D port for the chipset adopted on this motherboard can support DVI/HDCP and HDMI format signal. You may use the DVI to HDMI adapter to convert this DVI-D port to HDMI interface. DVI to HDMI adapter is not bundled with our product, please refer to the adapter vendor for further information.

10. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 13 for proper connection.

11. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 30 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVER

place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use

a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle

components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or

in the bag that comes with the component.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is

switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.

Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals,

and/or components.

notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.

Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket

by using a purely vertical motion.

Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket

and properly mated to the orient keys.

Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap):

Use your left hand index finger and thumb to

support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap

with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the

socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to

assist in removal.

1. It is recommended to use the cap tab to handle and avoid kicking

off the PnP cap.

2. This cap must be placed if returning the motherboard for after

service.

Step 4. Close the socket:

Step 4-1. Rotate the load plate onto the IHS.

Step 4-2. While pressing down lightly on load

plate, engage the load lever.

Step 4-3. Secure load lever with load plate tab

under retention tab of load lever.

This motherboard is equipped with 775-Pin socket that supports Intel 775-LAND CPU.

Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 775-LAND CPU

to dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal

interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.

Ensure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with

each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU_FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see

page 12, No. 5).

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your

CPU fan and heatsink.

Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU.

Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center

of IHS on the socket surface.

Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure

fan cables are oriented on side closest to the

CPU fan connector on the motherboard

(CPU_FAN1, see page 12, No. 5).

Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard

throughholes.

Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press

down on fastener caps with thumb to install

and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.

If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,

the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

Step 5. Connect fan header with the CPU fan

connector on the motherboard.

Step 6. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure

cable does not interfere with fan operation or

contact other components.

4Core1333-FullHD motherboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate

II) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed,

size and chip-type) DDRII DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3; Yellow slots; see p.12 No.7) or identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDRII_2 and DDRII_4; Orange slots; see p.12 No.8), so that Dual

Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows

you to install four DDRII DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel

Memory Configuration Table below.

Dual Channel Memory Configurations

DDRII_1 DDRII_2 DDRII_3 DDRII_4

(Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot)

(1) Populated - Populated -

(2) - Populated - Populated

(3)* Populated Populated Populated Populated

* For the configuration (3), please install identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots.

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility

and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the

same color. In other words, install them either in the set of yellow

slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3), or in the set of orange slots (DDRII_2

and DDRII_4).

2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed

in the DDRII DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate

the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual

Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDRII_1

and DDRII_2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory

Technology .

4. It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDRII slot;

otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
