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.

CAUTION!

1. FSB1333-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. Under this situation,
PCIE frequency will also be overclocked to 115MHz.

2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 28.

3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read
“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 24 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 16 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

1333 DDR2 533*, DDR2 667
1066 DDR2 533, DDR2 667

800 DDR2 400, DDR2 533, DDR2 667
533 DDR2 400, DDR2 533

* When you use a FSB1333-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at

DDR2 500 if you adopt a DDR2 533 memory module.

6. Due to the chipset limitation, the actual memory size may be less than
4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® XP, Windows
XP 64-bit, Windows® VistaTM and Windows® VistaTM 64-bit.

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 a nd the heatsink when you in stall 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. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono
modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-chan­nel and 6-channel modes. Please check the table on page 11 for proper
connection.

11. Before installing SAT AII hard dis k to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII
Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 23 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to
SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector
directly.
