WAR NING

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 third-

party 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. FSB1600-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. Under this situation, PCIE frequency will also be overclocked to 120MHz. 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 18 for proper jumper settings.

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

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 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 information.

10. Before installing SATAII hard disk 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 SA TA hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

11. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.
