CAUTION!
1. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions
properly before you resume the system. To improve heat dissipation,
remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink
when you install the PC system.
2. Do NOT insert a 3.3V AGP card into the AGP slot of K7VT4-4X
or K7VT4-8X motherboard! It may cause permanent damage!
3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft
Windows® XP. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows
98/ME/2000. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx
4. Although K7VT4-4X / K7VT4-8X offers stepless control, it is not
recommended to perform over clocking. When the CPU frequency of
K7VT4-4X / K7VT4-8X is set to perform over clocking, other clocks,
such as PCI clock, AGP clock, and Memory clock will also be
overclocked proportionally. Frequencies other than the recommended
CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or
damage the CPU.
