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

47.

2. 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 23 for proper installation.

3. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows VistaTM / XP. For Windows® OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

4. The maximum shared memory size is deﬁ ned by the chipset vendor and is subject to change. Please check Intel

website for the latest informa-

tion.

5. You can choose to use two of the four monitors only. D-Sub, DVI-D and HDMI monitors cannot be enabled at the same time. Besides, with the DVI-to-HDMI adapter, the DVI-D port can support the same features as HDMIport.

6. xvYCC and Deep Color are only supported under Windows

7. Deep Color mode will be enabled only if the display supports 12bpc in EDID. HBR is supported under Windows

7 64-bit / 7 / VistaTM 64-bit /

VistaTM.

7. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 14 and 15 for proper connection.

8. ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one tool to ﬁ ne-tune different system functions in a user-friendly interface, which is including Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA and IES. In Hardware Monitor, it shows the major readings of your system. In Fan Control, it shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In Overclocking, you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal system performance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a proﬁ le and share with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC proﬁ le to their own system to get the same OC settings. In IES (Intelligent Energy Saver), the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output phases to improve efﬁ ciency when the CPU cores are idle without

sacrificing computing performance. Please visit our website for the

operation procedures of ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU).

13. ASRock XFast USB can boost USB storage device performance. The performance may depend on the property of the device.

14. 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 sys-

tem.

15. EuP, stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by European Union to deﬁ ne the power consumption for the completed system. According to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system shall be under 1.00W in off mode condition. To meet EuP standard, an EuP ready motherboard and an EuP ready power supply are required. According to Intel’s suggestion, the EuP ready power supply must meet the standard of 5v standby power efﬁ ciency is higher than 50% under 100 mA current consumption. For EuP ready power supply selection, we recommend you checking with the power supply manufacturer for more details.

WiFi-802.11n module supports Station mode. You can use the wireless function to connect the access point (AP), or connect with other stations in the wireless range instead. There are two choices provided in station mode: Infrastructure mode and Ad-hoc mode. Please read below introduction for the differences of these two modes.

Infrastructure Mode

If you have a present access point (AP) in your wireless network environment for this station to join, you can set up WiFi-802.11n module in Infrastructure mode. In this mode, WiFi-802.11n module acts as a wireless adapter. In other words, it is centered on an AP that provides Internet access and LAN communication for the wireless stations, such as PC, notebook and other devices.

Ad-hoc Mode

If you don’t have a present access point in your wireless network environment, you can set up WiFi-802.11n module in Ad-hoc mode. The wireless network brings together workstations, PC, notebook and other devices for wireless communication.
