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. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Un-

tied Overclocking Technology” on page 32 for details.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor

and is subject to change. Please check NVIDIA® website for the latest

information.

5. This DVI-D port for the chipset adopted on this motherboard can support

DVI/HDCP and HDMI format signal. You may use the DVI to HDMI adapter to

convert this DVI-D port to HDMI interface. DVI to HDMI adapter is not bundled

with our product, please refer to the adapter vendor for further information.

6. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII

Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 24 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to

SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector

directly.

7. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows

VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.

K8N68PV-GLAN is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6-in x 8.0-in, 24.4 cm x 20.3 cm)

motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chas-

sis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

Pre-installation Precautions

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard compo-

nents or change any motherboard settings.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the

power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the

power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to

the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,

NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also

remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded

object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-

static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard

to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may

damage the motherboard.

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90

angle.

Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that the CPU corner with

the golden triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle.

Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU

into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push

down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab

to indicate that it is locked.

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a

larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray

thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.

Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good

contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU FAN connec-

tor (CPU_FAN1, see Page 9, No. 7). For proper installation, please kindly

refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and the heatsink.
