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 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.

ASRock 4Core1600-D800 Motherboard

CAUTION!

1. FSB1600-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. If you use a FSB1600CPU on this motherboard, you need to adjust the jumpers. If you want to overclock the CPU you adopt from FSB800 to FSB1066, you need to adjust the jumpers as well. Please refer to page 14 for proper jumper settings.

2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 28 of “User Manual“ in the support CD.

3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 20 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 12 for proper installation.

5. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its corresponding memory support frequency.

CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency

1600 DDR2 800 1333 DDR2 667, DDR2 800 1066 DDR2 667, DDR2 800

800 DDR2 667, DDR2 800

6. 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® VistaTM. For Windows® XP 64-bit and Windows® Vista 64-bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and is subject to change. Please check Intel® website for the latest information.

10. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 19 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SA TA hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-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. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

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 antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Step 1. Open the socket:

Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing

down and out on the hook to clear retention tab.

Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-

sition at approximately 135 degrees.

Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-

sition at approximately 100 degrees.

Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU:

Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are

marked with black lines.

Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated

Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two orientation key notches.

For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.

Step 2-3. Carefully pla ce 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 Ca p (Pick a nd 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.

ASRock 4Core1600-D800 Motherboard

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

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 2, No. 4).

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

4Core1600-D800 motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DD R2 DIMM slots to a ctivate Dual Cha nnel Memory Technology . Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.

1. It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDR2 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

2. If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory modules, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.
