VORSICHT!

1. Die Einstellung der “Hyper-Threading Technology”, ﬁ nden Sie auf Seite 39 des auf der Support-CD enthaltenen Benutzerhandbuches beschrieben.

2. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie. Vor Implementierung der Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie müssen Sie die Installationsanleitung für die Speichermodule auf Seite 14 zwecks

richtiger Installation gelesen haben.

3. Durch Betriebssystem-Einschränkungen kann die tatsächliche Speichergröße weniger als 4 GB betragen, da unter Windows etwas Speicher zur Nutzung durch das System reserviert wird. Unter Windows® OS mit 64-Bit-CPU besteht diese Einschränkung nicht.

4. Die Maximalspeichergröße ist von den Chipshändler deﬁ niert und umge- tauscht. Bitte überprüfen Sie Intel® website für die neuliche Information.

5. ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) ist ein Alles-in-einemWerkzeug zur Feineinstellung verschiedener Systemfunktionen an einer benutzerfreundlichen Schnittstelle; diese beinhaltet HardwareÜberwachung, Lüftersteuerung, Übertaktung, OC DNA und IES. Über die

Hardware-Überwachung können Sie die Hauptsystemdaten einsehen.

Die Lüftersteuerung zeigt Ihnen zur Anpassung Lüftergeschwindigkeit und Temperatur an. Bei der Übertaktung können Sie die CPU-Frequenz

zur Erzielung optimaler Systemleistung übertakten. OC DNA ermöglicht

Ihnen die Speicherung Ihrer OC-Einstellungen als Proﬁ l, welches Sie mit Freunden teilen können. Ihre Freunde können das OC-Proﬁ l dann in ihrem System laden und so die gleichen OC-Einstellungen erzielen. Per IES (Intelligent Energy Saver) kann der Spannungsregulator bei Inaktivität der CPU-Kerne die Anzahl an Ausgangsphasen zur Steigerung

der Efﬁ zienz reduzieren – ohne die Rechenleistung zu beeinträchtigen.

Hinweise zur Bedienung der ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) ﬁ nden Sie auf unserer Webseite.
