Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjust­ing the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using third­party overclocking tools. Overclocking may aect your system’s 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.

Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB
for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 8.1 / 8 / 7 / XP. For Windows®
64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation. You can use ASRock XFast
RAM to utilize the memory that Windows® cannot use.

is motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots.

e DIMM only ts 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.

It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3 slot; other­wise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
