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.

13. EuP, stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by
European Union to define the power consumption for the completed system.
According to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system shall be
under 1.00W in off mode condition. To meet EuP standard, an EuP ready
motherboard and an EuP ready power supply are required. According to
Intel’s suggestion, the EuP ready power supply must meet the standard of
5v standby power efficiency is higher than 50% under 100 mA current
consumption. For EuP ready power supply selection, we recommend you
checking with the power supply manufacturer for more details.

VORSICHT!

1. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt die Untied-Übertaktungstechnologie.
Unter “Entkoppelte Übertaktungstechnologie” auf Seite 21 finden Sie
detaillierte Informationen.

2. Dieses Motherboard unterstützt Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie. Vor
Implementierung der Dual-Kanal-Speichertechnologie müssen Sie die
Installationsanleitung für die Speichermodule auf Seite 31 zwecks richtiger
Installation gelesen haben.

3. Ob die Speichergeschwindigkeit 1600 MHz unterstützt wird, hängt von der
von Ihnen eingesetzten 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:

ASRock 770 Extreme3 Motherboard

http://www.asrock.com

4. 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.

5. Der Mikrofoneingang dieses Motherboards unterstützt Stereo- und Mono­Modi. Der Audioausgang dieses Motherboards unterstützt 2-Kanal-, 4­Kanal-, 6-Kanal- und 8-Kanal-Modi. Stellen Sie die richtige Verbindung
anhand der Tabelle auf Seite 3 her.

einwandfrei.

7. Es ist ein benutzerfreundlicher ASRock Übertaktenswerkzeug, das
erlaubt, dass Sie Ihr System durch den Hardware-Monitor Funktion zu
überblicken und Ihre Hardware-Geräte übertakten, um die beste
Systemleistung unter der Windows® Umgebung zu erreichen. Besuchen
Sie bitte unsere Website für die Operationsverfahren von ASRock OC
Tuner. ASRock-Website:

8. Mit einer eigenen, modernen Hardware und speziellem Softwaredesign,
bietet der Intelligent Energy Saver eine revolutionäre Technologie zur
bisher unerreichten Energieeinsparung. Ein Spannungsregler kann die
Anzahl von Ausgangsphasen zur Effektivitätsverbessserung reduzieren,
wenn sich die CPU im Leerlauf befindet. Mit anderen Worten: Sie
genießen außergewöhnliche Energieeinsparung und verbesserten
Wirkungsgrad ohne Leistungseinschränkungen. Wenn Sie die Intelligent
Energy Saver-Funktion nutzen möchten, aktivieren Sie zuvor die „Cool
‘n’ Quiet“-Option im BIOS. Weitere Bedienungshinweise zum Intelligent
Energy Saver finden Sie auf unseren Internetseiten.
ASRock-Internetseite: http://www.asrock.com

9. ASRock Instant Flash ist ein im Flash-ROM eingebettetes BIOS-Flash­Programm. Mithilfe dieses praktischen BIOS-Aktualisierungswerkzeugs
können Sie das System-BIOS aktualisieren, ohne dafür zuerst
Betriebssysteme wie MS-DOS oder Windows® aufrufen zu müssen. Mit
diesem Programm bekommen Sie durch Drücken der <F6>-Taste
während des POST-Vorgangs oder durch Drücken der <F2>-Taste im
BIOS-Setup-Menü Zugang zu ASRock Instant Flash. Sie brauchen dieses
Werkzeug einfach nur zu starten und die neue BIOS-Datei auf Ihrem
USB-Flash-Laufwerk, Diskettenlaufwerk oder der Festplatte zu
speichern, und schon können Sie Ihr BIOS mit nur wenigen
Klickvorgängen ohne Bereitstellung einer zusätzlichen Diskette oder
eines anderen komplizierten Flash-Programms aktualisieren. Achten Sie
darauf, dass das USB-Flash-Laufwerk oder die Festplatte das
Dateisystem FAT32/16/12 benutzen muss.

10. Allein der Name – OC DNA* – beschreibt es wörtlich, was die Software

zu leisten vermag. OC DNA ist ein von ASRock exklusiv entwickeltes
Dienstprogramm, das Nutzern eine bequeme Möglichkeit bietet,
Übertaktungseinstellungen aufzuzeichnen und sie Anderen mitzuteilen.
Es hilft Ihnen, Ihre Übertaktungsaufzeichnung im Betriebssystem zu
speichern und vereinfacht den komplizierten Aufzeichnungsvorgang von
Übertaktungseinstellungen. Mit OC DNA können Sie Ihre
Übertaktungseinstellungen als Profil abspeichern und Ihren Freunden
zugänglich machen! Ihre Freunde können dann das Übertaktungsprofil
auf ihren eigenen Systemen laden, um dieselben
Übertaktungseinstellungen wie Sie zu erhalten! Beachten Sie bitte, dass
das Übertaktungsprofil nur bei einem identischen Motherboard
gemeinsam genutzt und funktionsfähig gemacht werden kann.

11. Obwohl dieses Motherboard stufenlose Steuerung bietet, wird

Overclocking nicht empfohlen. Frequenzen, die von den empfohlenen
CPU-Busfrequenzen abweichen, können Instabilität des Systems
verursachen oder die CPU beschädigen.

12. Wird eine Überhitzung der CPU registriert, führt das System einen

automatischen Shutdown durch. Bevor Sie das System neu starten, prüfen
Sie bitte, ob der CPU-Lüfter am Motherboard richtig funktioniert, und
stecken Sie bitte den Stromkabelstecker aus und dann wieder ein. Um die
Wärmeableitung zu verbessern, bitte nicht vergessen, etwas
Wärmeleitpaste zwischen CPU und Kühlkörper zu sprühen.

13. EuP steht für Energy Using Product und kennzeichnet die Ökodesign-

Richtlinie, die von der Europäischen Gemeinschaft zur Festlegung des
Energieverbrauchs von vollständigen Systemen in Kraft gesetzt wurde.
Gemäß dieser Ökodesign-Richtlinie (EuP) muss der gesamte
Netzstromverbrauch von vollständigen Systemen unter 1,00 Watt liegen,
wenn sie ausgeschaltet sind. Um dem EuP-Standard zu entsprechen, sind
ein EuP-fähiges Motherboard und eine EuP-fähige Stromversorgung
erforderlich. Gemäß einer Empfehlung von Intel muss eine EuP-fähige
Stromversorgung dem Standard entsprechen, was bedeutet, dass bei einem
Stromverbrauch von 100 mA die 5-Volt-Standby-Energieeffizienz höher als
50% sein sollte. Für die Wahl einer EuP-fähigen Stromversorgung
empfehlen wir Ihnen, weitere Details beim Hersteller der Stromversorgung
abzufragen.

Bitte nehmen Sie die folgende Sicherheitshinweise zur Kenntnis, bevor Sie
das Motherboard einbauen oder Veränderungen an den Einstellungen
vornehmen.

Vor dem Ein- oder Ausbauen einer Komponent müssen Sie sicherstellen,
dass der Netzschalter ausgeschaltet oder die Netzleitung von der Steckdose
abgezogen ist. Andernfalls könnten das Motherboard, Peripheriegeräte und/

oder Komponenten schwer beschädigt werden.

1. Trennen Sie das System vom Stromnetz, bevor Sie eine

Systemkomponente berühren, da es sonst zu schweren Schäden am
Motherboard oder den sonstigen internen, bzw. externen Komponenten
kommen kann.

2. Um Schäden aufgrund von statischer Elektrizität zu vermeiden, das

Motherboard NIEMALS auf einen Teppich o.ä.legen. Denken Sie außerem
daran, immer ein geerdetes Armband zu tragen oder ein geerdetes Objekt
aus Metall zu berühren, bevor Sie mit Systemkomponenten hantieren.

3. Halten Sie Komponenten immer an den Rändern und vermeiden Sie

Berührungen mit den ICs.

4. Wenn Sie Komponenten ausbauen, legen Sie sie immer auf eine

antistatische Unterlage, oder zurück in die Tüte, mit der die Komponente
geliefert wurde.

5. Wenn Sie das Motherboard mit den Schrauben an dem Computergehäuse

befestigen, überziehen Sie bitte die Schrauben nicht! Das Motherboard kann
sonst beschädigt werden.

Schritt 1: Öffnen Sie den CPU-Sockel, indem sie den Hebel leicht zur Seite und

dann nach oben ziehen, auf einen Winkel von 90°.

Schritt 2: Positionieren Sie die CPU genau so über dem Sockel, dass sich die

Ecke der CPU mit dem goldenen Dreieck exakt über der Ecke des
Sockels befindet, die mit einem kleinen Dreieck gekennzeichnet ist.

Schritt 3: Drücken Sie die CPU vorsichtig in den Sockel.

Die CPU sollte problemlos in den Sockel passen. Drücken Sie die CPU
nicht mit Gewalt in den Sockel, damit sich die Pins nicht verbiegen.
Überprüfen Sie die Ausrichtung und suchen nach verbogenen Pins,
sollte die CPU nicht in den Sockel passen.

Schritt 4: Wenn die CPU korrekt im Sockel sitzt, leicht mit dem Finger

draufdrücken und gleichzeitig den Hebel nach unten drücken, bis er
hörbar einrastet.

Installation des CPU-Lüfters und des KühlkörpersInstallation des CPU-Lüfters und des Kühlkörpers

Nachdem Sie die CPU auf diesem Motherboard installiert haben, müssen
Sie einen größeren Kühlkörper und Lüfter installieren, um Wärme
abzuleiten. Zwischen CPU und Kühlkörper müssen Sie auch
Wärmeleitpaste auftragen, um die Wärmeableitung zu verbessern.
Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die CPU und der Kühlkörper gut befestigt sind
und einen guten Kontakt zueinander haben. Verbinden Sie dann den CPU­Lüfter mit dem CPU-LÜFTER-Anschluss (CPU_FAN1, siehe Seite 2, Nr. 2).
Beziehen Sie sich für eine richtige Installation auf die Handbücher des CPU­Lüfters und des Kühlkörpers.
