Chapter 2 Installation
is is an ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study
the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.
Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard.
•
Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard
components.
In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,
•
NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded
wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.
Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
•
Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or
•
in the bag that comes with the components.
When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-
•
tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink
Aer you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a larger
heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease
between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Ma ke sure that the
CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.
Please turn o the power or remove th e power cord before changing a CPU or heatsink.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)
is motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots,
and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.
1. For dual channel cong uration , you always need to in stall identical (the same
brand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.
2. It is unable to activate Du al Channel Memory Technology with only one or three
memory module installed.
3. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4
slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
4. We suggest that you install the memory modules on DDR4_A 2 and DDR4_B2 rst
for better DRAM compatibility on 2 DIMM s conguration.

CPU Conguration
Overclock Mode
Select the overclock mode.
*Do not use SATA HDD when you overclock BCLK.
Spread Spectrum
Enable Spread Spectrum to reduce electromagnetic interference for passing EMI
tests. Disable to achieve higher clock speeds when overclocking.
CPU Frequency and Voltage (VID) Change
If this item is set to [Manual], the multiplier and voltage will be set based on user selection.
Final result is depending on the CPU's capability.

SoC/Uncore OC Voltage
Specif y the SoC/Uncore voltage (VDD_SOC) in mV to support memory and
Innity Fabric overclocking. VDD_SOC also determines the GPU voltage on
processors with integrated graphics.
“SoC/Uncore OC Mode” need to be enabled to force this voltage.
SMT Mode
is item can be used to disable symmetric multithreading. To re-enable SMT, a
power cycle is needed aer selecting [Auto].
Warning: S3 is not supported on systems where SMT is disabled.
DRAM Timing Conguration
DRAM Information
Browse the serial presence detect (SPD) for DDR4 modules.
Load DRAM Prole
Load DRAM prole to overclock the memory and perform beyond standard specications.
Load XMP Setting
Load XMP settings to overclock the memory and perform beyond standard specications.
DRAM Frequency
If [Auto] is selected, the motherboard will detect the memory module(s) inserted
and assign the appropriate frequency automatically.
Innity Fabric Frequency and Dividers
Set Innity Fabric Frequency and Dividers (FCLK).
GFX Clock Frequency
is item allows you to alter the frequency for the GFX clock frequency. Aer you
alter the GFX Clock Frequency settings, make sure to adjust the GFX Core Voltage
settings.
*e adjustable range is dependent on the CPU being installed.
GFX Core Voltage
is item allows you to alter the voltage for the GFX Core Voltage.
*e adjustable range is dependent on the CPU being installed.

Voltage Conguration
Voltage Mode
[OC]
If this option is selected, there is larger range voltage for overclocking.
[Stable]
If this option is selected, there is smaller range voltage for stable system.
CPU Vcore Voltage
Congure the voltage for the CPU Vcore.
CPU Vcore Load-Line Calibration
CPU Load-Line Calibration helps prevent CPU voltage droop when the system is
under heav y loading.
CPU VDDCR_SOC Voltage
Congure the voltage for the VID-requested VDDCR_SOC supply level.
CPU VDDCR_SOC Load-Line Calibration
VDDCR_SOC Load-Line Calibration helps prevent VDDCR_SOC voltage droop
when the system is under heavy loading.
VDDG Voltage Control
VDDG represents voltage for the data portion of the Innity Fabric. It is derived
from the CPU SoC/Uncore Voltage (VDD_SOC). VDDG can approach but not
exceed VDD_SOC.

VPPM
Congure the voltage for the VPPM.
VDDP
Congure the voltage for the VDDP.
CPU VDD 1.8 Voltage
Congure the voltage for the CPU VDD 1.8 PROM.
PREM VDD_CLDO Voltage
Use this to select PREM VDD_CLDO Voltage. e default value is [Auto].
PREM VDDCR_SOC Voltage
Use this to select PREM VDDCR_SOC Voltage. e default value is [Auto].
Save User Default
