WARNUNG

Beachten Sie bitte, dass Overclocking, einschließlich der Einstellung im BIOS, Anwenden der Untied Overclocking-Technologie oder Verwenden von Overclocking-Werkzeugen von Dritten, mit einem gewissen Risiko behaftet ist. Overclocking kann sich nachteilig auf die Stabilität Ihres Systems auswirken oder sogar Komponenten und Geräte Ihres Systems beschädigen. Es geschieht dann auf eigene Gefahr und auf Ihre Kosten. Wir übernehmen keine Verantwortung für mögliche Schäden, die aufgrund von Overclocking verursacht wurden.

VORSICHT!

9. Mit einer eigenen, modernen Hardware und speziellem Softwaredesign,

bietet der Intelligent Energy Saver eine revolutionäre Technologie zur bisher unerreichten Energieeinsparung. Ein Spannungsregler kann die Anzahl von Ausgangsphasen zur Effektivitätsverbessserung reduzieren, wenn sich die CPU im Leerlauf befindet. Mit anderen Worten: Sie genießen außergewöhnliche Energieeinsparung und verbesserten Wirkungsgrad ohne Leistungseinschränkungen. Wenn Sie die Intelligent Energy Saver-Funktion nutzen möchten, aktivieren Sie zuvor die „Cool ‘n’ Quiet“-Option im BIOS. Weitere Bedienungshinweise zum Intelligent Energy Saver finden Sie auf unseren Internetseiten. ASRock-Internetseite:

10. ASRock Instant Flash ist ein im Flash-ROM eingebettetes BIOS-Flash-

Programm. Mithilfe dieses praktischen BIOS-Aktualisierungswerkzeugs können Sie das System-BIOS aktualisieren, ohne dafür zuerst Betriebssysteme wie MS-DOS oder Windows® aufrufen zu müssen. Mit diesem Progra mm bekommen Sie durch Drücken der <F6>-Taste während des POST-Vorgangs oder durch Drücken der <F2>-Taste im BIOS-Setup-Menü Zugang zu ASRock Instant Flash. Sie brauchen dieses Werkzeug einfach nur zu starten und die neue BIOS-Datei auf Ihrem USB-Flash-Laufwerk, Diskettenlaufwerk oder der Festplatte zu speichern, und schon können Sie Ihr BIOS mit nur wenigen Klickvorgängen ohne Bereitstellung einer zusätzlichen Diskette oder eines anderen komplizierten Flash-Programms aktualisieren. Achten Sie darauf, dass das USB-Flash-Laufwerk oder die Festplatte das Dateisystem FAT32/16/12 benutzen muss.

11. Allein der Name – OC DNA* – beschreibt es wörtlich, was die Software

zu leisten vermag. OC DNA ist ein von ASRock exklusiv entwickeltes Dienstprogramm, das Nutzern eine bequeme Möglichkeit bietet, Übertaktungseinstellungen aufzuzeichnen und sie Anderen mitzuteilen. Es hilft Ihnen, Ihre Übertaktungsaufzeichnung im Betriebssystem zu speichern und vereinfacht den komplizierten Aufzeichnungsvorgang von Übertaktungseinstellungen. Mit OC DNA können Sie Ihre Übertaktungseinstellungen als Profil abspeichern und Ihren Freunden

http://www.asrock.com

ASRock M3N78D Motherboard

zugänglich machen! Ihre Freunde können dann das Übertaktungsprofil auf ihren eigenen Systemen laden, um dieselben Übertaktungseinstellungen wie Sie zu erhalten! Be achten Sie bitte, dass das Übertaktungsprofil nur bei einem identischen Motherboard gemeinsam genutzt und funktionsfähig gemacht werden kann.

12. Obwohl dieses Motherboard stufenlose Steuerung bietet, wird Overclocking nicht empfohlen. Frequenzen, die über den für den jeweiligen Prozessor vorgesehenen liegen, können das System instabil werden lassen oder die CPU beschädigen.

13. Wird eine Überhitzung der CPU registriert, führt das System einen automatischen Shutdown durch. Bevor Sie das System neu starten, prüfen Sie bitte, ob der CPU-Lüfter am Motherboard richtig funktioniert, und stecken Sie bitte den Stromkabelstecker aus und dann wieder ein. Um die Wärmeableitung zu verbessern, bitte nicht vergessen, etwa s Wärmeleitpa ste zwischen CPU und Kühlkörper zu sprühen.

14. EuP steht für Energy Using Product und kennzeichnet die ÖkodesignRichtlinie, die von der Europäischen Gemeinschaft zur Festlegung des Energieverbrauchs von vollständigen Systemen in Kraft gesetzt wurde. Gemäß dieser Ökodesign-Richtlinie (EuP) muss der gesamte Netzstromverbrauch von vollständigen Systemen unter 1,00 Watt liegen, wenn sie ausgeschaltet sind. Um dem EuP-Standard zu entsprechen, sind ein EuP-fähiges Motherboard und eine EuP-fähige Stromversorgung erforderlich. Gemäß einer Empfehlung von Intel muss eine EuP-fähige Stromversorgung dem Standard entsprechen, was bedeutet, dass bei einem Stromverbrauch von 100 mA die 5-Volt-Standby-Energieeffizienz höher als 50% sein sollte. Für die Wahl einer EuP-fähigen Stromversorgung empfehlen wir Ihnen, weitere Details beim Hersteller der Stromversorgung abzufragen.
