CAUTION!
1. P4i45PE motherboard may be fine tuned to support higher CPU bus
frequencies on certain condition (over-clocking mode). Please refer
to the NOTE on page 7 for the details.
2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check
page 22.
3. 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.
4. Do NOT plug a 3.3V AGP card in the AGP slot on P4i45PE motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
5. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft
XP SP1 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows
98 / ME. Please refer to Microsoft® official document at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/USB/USB2support.mspx
6. Although P4i45PE offers stepless control, it is not recommended to
perform over clocking. When the CPU frequency of P4i45PE 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 and the motherboard.

NOTE
P4i45PE may be fine tuned to support higher CPU front side bus frequencies on certain
condition at over-clocking mode. Please refer to the tables below for the details.
CPU FSB Configuration Note
