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 thirdparty 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.
ASRock P4i65G Motherboard
CAUTION!
1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 23
of “User Manual” in the support CD.
2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Te chnology . Please read “Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 15 for details.
3. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Te chnology. Before you
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the
installation guide of memory modules on page 9 for proper installation.
4. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its
corresponding CPU FSB frequency.
CPU FSB FrequencyMemory Support Frequency
800DDR266, DDR320
533DDR266, DDR333
* When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at
DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module.
5. 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.
6. 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 a nd the he atsink when you in stall the PC system.
7. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
8. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft
SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Windows® 98/ ME.
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
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
antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

This motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and
supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you
always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type)
memory modules in the DD R DIMM slots to a ctivate Dual Channel Memory T echnology .
Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.
If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory
modules, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory T echnology .

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or
removing DIMMs or the system components.
Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the brea k
on the slot.
The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent
damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into
the slot at incorrect orientation.
Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully
snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during
overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed AGP / PCI bus. You may set “CPU
Host Frequency” option of BIOS setup to [Auto], which will show you the actual CPU
host frequency in the following item. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied during overclocking,
but AGP / PCI bus is in the fixed mode so that FSB can operate under a more stable
overclocking environment.
Please refer to the warning on page 6 for the possible overclocking risk before
you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.
