VORSICHT!

1. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt CPUs bis 95W. Auf unserer Website finden Sie eine Liste mit unterstützten CPUs. ASRock-Internetseite: http://www.asrock.com

2. Die UCC-Funktion (Unlock CPU Core; zu Deutsch: CPU-Kern freigeben) vereinfacht die AMD-CPU-Aktivierung. Zur Freigabe des zusätzlichen CPUKerns müssen Sie lediglich die BIOS-Option „ASRock UCC“ umschalten – schon profitieren Sie von einem Leistungsschub. Wenn die UCC-Funktion aktiviert ist, rüstet die Dual-Core- oder Triple-Core-CPU auf eine QuadCore-CPU auf – einige CPUs (inklusive Quad-Core) können zudem die L3Cache-Größe auf bis zu 6 MB anheben; das bedeutet verbesserte CPULeistung zu einem geringeren Preis. Bitte beachten Sie, dass die UCCFunktion nur bei AM2+ / AM3 / AM3+-CPUs einsetzbar ist; die Unterstützung besteht jedoch aufgrund möglicher Fehlfunktionen des verborgenen Kerns einiger CPUs auch nicht zwangsläufig bei jeder AM2+ / AM3 / AM3+-CPU.

3. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt die Untied-Übertaktungstechnologie. Unter “Entkoppelte Übertaktungstechnologie” auf Seite 24 finden Sie detaillierte Informationen.

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

5. Ob die Speichergeschwindigkeit 1600 MHz unterstützt wird, hängt von der von Ihnen eingesetzten AM3 / AM3+-CPU ab. Schauen Sie bitte auf unseren Internetseiten in der Liste mit unterstützten Speichermodulen nach, wenn Sie DDR3 1600-Speichermodule einsetzen möchten. ASRock-Internetseite: http://www.asrock.com

6. Durch Betriebssystem-Einschränkungen kann die tatsächliche Speichergröße weniger als 4 GB betragen, da unter Windows® 7 / Vista™ / XP etwas Speicher zur Nutzung durch das System reserviert wird. Unter Windows® OS mit 64-Bit-CPU besteht diese Einschränkung nicht.

7. Ob die Speichergeschwindigkeit 1066 MHz unterstützt wird, hängt von der von Ihnen eingesetzten AM2+ / AM3-CPU ab. Schauen Sie bitte auf unseren Internetseiten in der Liste mit unterstützten Speichermodulen nach, wenn Sie DDR2 1066-Speichermodule einsetzen möchten. ASRock-Internetseite: http://www.asrock.com

8. Die Maximalspeichergröße ist von den Chipshändler definiert und umgetauscht. Bitte überprüfen Sie NVIDIA® website für die neuliche Information.

9. Vor Installation der SATAII-Festplatte an den SATAII-Anschluss lesen Sie bitte “Setup-Anleitung für SATAII-Festplatte” auf Seite 26 der “Bedienungsanleitung” auf der Support-CD, um Ihre SATAII-Festplatte dem SATAII-Modus anzugleichen. Sie können die SATA-Festplatte auch direkt mit dem SATAII-Anschluss verbinden.
