WARNING

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.

CAUTION!

1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, plea se che ck page 34.

2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 28 for details.

3. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the installation guide of memory modules on page 17 for proper installation.

4. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its corresponding memory support frequency.

CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency

1333 DDR2 667, DDR2 800 1066 DDR2 533, DDR2 667, DDR2 800

800 DDR2 533, DDR2 667, DDR2 800 533 DDR2 533

5. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® XP and Windows bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

6. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 11 for proper connection.

7. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector , ple ase read the “SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 27 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

8. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.

9. It is a user-friendly ASRock overclocking tool which allows you to surveil your system by hardware monitor function and overclock your hardware devices to get the best system performance under Windows environment. Please visit our website for the operation procedures of ASRock OC Tuner. ASRock website:

VistaTM. For Windows® XP 64-bit and Windows® VistaTM 64-

http://www.asrock.com

10. Featuring an advanced proprietary hardware and software design,

Intelligent Energy Saver is a revolutionary technology that delivers

unparalleled power savings. In other words, it is able to provide exceptional

power saving and improve power efficiency without sacrificing computing

performance. Please visit our website for the operation procedures of

Intelligent Energy Saver.

ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com

11. ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS flash utility embedded in Flash ROM.

This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS

without entering operating systems first like MS-DOS or Windows

this utility, you can press <F6> key during the POST or press <F2> key to

BIOS setup menu to access ASRock Instant Flash. Just launch this tool

and save the new BIOS file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Please

be noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 file

system.

12. 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.

13. 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.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

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.

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 antistatic pad or

in the bag that comes with the component.

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.

For the installation of Intel 775-LAND CPU,

please follow the steps below.

Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check if

the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket.

Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is

found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

775-Pin Socket Overview

Step 1. Open the socket:

Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing

Lift Lever Up to 90°

down and out on the hook to clear

retention tab.

Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-

sition at approximately 135 degrees.

Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-

sition at approximately 100 degrees.

Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU:

Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are

marked with black lines.

Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated

Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two

orientation key notches.

For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key

notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.

Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket

by using a purely vertical motion.

Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket

and properly mated to the orient keys.

Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap):

Use your left hand index finger and thumb to

support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap

with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the

socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to

assist in removal.

1. It is recommended to use the cap tab to handle and avoid kicking

off the PnP cap.

2. This cap must be placed if returning the motherboard for after

service.

Step 4. Close the socket:

Step 4-1. Rotate the load plate onto the IHS.

Step 4-2. While pressing down lightly on load

plate, engage the load lever.
