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.

e motherboard has two smart buttons: Clear CMOS Button and BIOS Flashback
Button, allowing users to quickly clear the CMOS values or ash the BIOS.
Clear CMOS Button
(CLRCBTN1)
(see p.8, No. 17)
is function i s workable only when you power o your computer and unplug the powe r
supp ly.
BIOS Flashback Button

(see p.10, No. 16)
ASRock BIOS Flashback feature allows you to update BIOS without poweri ng on the system, even
without CPU.
To use the USB BIOS Flashback function, Plea se follow the steps below.
1. Download the latest BIOS le from ASRock's website : http://www.asrock.com.
2. Copy t he BIOS le to your USB ash drive. Please make sure the le system of
your USB ash drive must be FAT32.
3. Extract BIOS le from the zip le.
4. Rename the le to “creative.rom” and save it to the root director y of X: USB ash drive.
5. Plug the 24 pin power connector to t he motherboard. en turn on the power supply's AC
switch.
*ere is no need to power on t he system.
6. en plug your USB drive to the USB BIOS Flashback port.
7. Press the BIOS Flashback Switch for about three seconds. en the LED starts to blink.
8. Wait unti l the LED stops blink ing, i ndicating that BIOS ashing has been completed.
*If the LED light turns solid green, this means that the BIOS Flashback is not
operating properly. Please make sure that you plug t he USB drive to the USB BIOS Flashback
port.
**If the LED does not light up at all then please disconnect power f rom the system and remove/
disconnect t he CMOS battery f rom the motherboard for several minutes. Reconnect power

Overclock Mode(Bus Speed)
Select the overclock mode. Warning! When overclocking also the PCIe, PCI, SATA and
USB busses will be overcloked which may cause instability or failure. Please install an
operating system and the drivers required before overclocking, or else your HDD's may be
undetectable. Overclocking is not supported if the monitor is connected via the onboard
D-Bus/VGA connector.
SB Clock Spread Spectrum
Enable Spread Spectrum to reduce electromagnetic interference for passing EMI
tests. Disable to achieve higher clock speeds when overclocking.

CLD0 VDDP Voltage Control
AMD Overclocking Setup VDDP is a voltage for the DDR4 bus signaling (PHY), and it is
derived from your DRAM Voltage (VDDIO_Mem). As a result, VDDP voltage in mV can
approach but not exceed your DRAM Voltage.
CLD0 VDDG CCD Voltage Control
AMD Overclocking Setup VDDG CCD 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.

Latency penalties are incurred if FCLK and MCLK are mismatched, but suciently high
MCLK can negate or overcome this penalty.
