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 third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may

affect your system’s 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. Whether 1866/1600MHz memory speed is supported depends

on the AM3/AM3+ CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3

1866/1600 memory module on this motherboard, please refer

to the memory support list on our website for the compatible

memory modules.

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

2. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size

may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage un-

der Windows® 8.1 / 8 / 7 / VistaTM / XP. For Windows® 64-bit OS

with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

“4CH” and then you are allowed to select “Realtek HDA Primary output” to use Rear Speaker

and Front Speaker, or select “Realtek HDA Audio 2nd output” to use front panel audio. Then

reboot your system.

For Windows® 8.1 / 8 / 7 / VistaTM:

After restarting your computer, please double-click “Realtek HD Audio Manager” on the

system tray. Set “Speaker Conguration” to “Quadraphonic” or “Stereo”. Click “Device

advanced settings”, choose “Make front and rear output devices playbacks two different audio

streams simultaneously”, and click “ok”. Then reboot your system.

2. Installation

This is an ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study

the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard

components or change any motherboard settings.

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.

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

component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static elec-

tricity, 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 anti-

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

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the mother-

board to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing

so may damage the motherboard.

11

2.1 CPU Installation

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90

o

angle.

Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that the CPU corner with

the golden triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle.

Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it ts in place.

The CPU ts only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU

into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it rmly on the socket while you push

down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab

to indicate that it is locked.

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a

larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray

thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dis-

sipation. Make sure 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 9, No. 3). For proper instal-

lation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and

the heatsink.

12

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

This motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots,

and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel conguration,

you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type)

DDR3 DIMM pair in the slots. In other words, you have to install identical DDR3

DIMM pair in Dual Channel (DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B1; Black slots; see p.9 No.6)

or identical DDR3 DIMM pair in Dual Channel (DDR3_A2 and DDR3_B2; Black

slots; see p.9 No.7), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated.

This motherboard also allows you to install four DDR3 DIMMs for dual channel

conguration, and please install identical DDR3 DIMMs in all four slots. You may

refer to the Dual Channel Memory Conguration Table below.

Dual Channel Memory Congurations

DDR3_A1 DDR3_A2 DDR3_B1 DDR3_B2

(Black Slot) (Black Slot) (Black Slot) (Black Slot)

(1) Populated - Populated -

(2) - Populated - Populated

(3)* Populated Populated Populated Populated

For the conguration (3), please install identical DDR3 DIMMs in all four

*

slots.

1. Please instal l the memory module into the slots DDR3_A2 and

DDR3_B2 for the rst priority.

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

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

slots DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B1, or in the set of slots DDR3_A2 and

DDR3_B2.

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

in the DDR3 DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate

the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

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

Cha nn el , for examp le , installi ng a p ai r of me mo ry modules in

DDR3_A1 and DDR3_A2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel

Memory Technology .

5. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into

DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be dam-

aged.

6. If you adopt DDR3 1866/1600 memory modules on this mother-

board, it is recommended to install them on DDR3_A2 and DDR3_

B2 slots.

13

Installing a DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or

removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the

break on the slot.

notc h
brea k

notc h

brea k

The DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent

damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into

the slot at incorrect orientation.

Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends

fully snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

14

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots)

There are 2 PCI slots and 4 PCI Express slots on this motherboard.

PCI Slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI

interface.

PCIE Slots:

PCIE1 / PCIE2 / PCIE4 (PCIE x1 slot; Black) is used for PCI Express

cards with x1 lane width cards, such as Gigabit LAN card and SATA2

card.

PCIE3 (PCIE x16 slot; Black) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width

graphics cards.

Installing an expansion card

Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the

documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware

settings for the card before you start the installation.

Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed

in a chassis).

Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the

screws for later use.

Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.

Step 6. Replace the system cover.
