WA R NING

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 third-party 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”, please check page 56 of “User Manual” in the support CD.

2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 35 for details.

3. This motherboard supports Triple Channel Memory Technology. Before you implement Triple Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the installation guide of memory modules on page 14 for proper installation.

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

5. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3 for proper connection.

6. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 40 of “User Manual” in the support CD to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

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

8. 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: http://www.asrock.com

9. 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

10. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recom-

mended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU.

11. 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.

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. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

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 antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

tion at approxi mately 100 degrees .

Step 2. Remove PnP Ca p (Pick a nd Pla ce Cap).

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.

For proper installation, plea se kindly refer to the instruction ma nuals of your CPU fan a nd heatsink.

Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 1366-Pin CPU. Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center of

IHS on the socket surface.

Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure fan

cables are oriented on side closest to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard (CPU_F AN1, see page 2, No. 35).

Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard

throughholes.

Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press down

on fastener caps with thumb to install and lock. Repeat with remaining fa steners.

If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise, the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

This motherboard provides six 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Triple Channel Memory Technology . For triple cha nnel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same bra nd, speed, size a nd chi p-type) DDR3 DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identi- cal DDR3 DIMM pair in Tri ple Channel (DD R3_A1, DDR3_B1 and DD R3_C1; White slots; see p.2 No.4), or identical DDR3 DIMM pair in Triple Channel (DDR3_A2, DDR3_B2 and DDR3_C2; Blue slots; see p.2 No.10), so that Tri ple Channel Memory T echnology ca n be activated. This motherboard also allows you to install six DDR3 DIMMs for triple cha nnel configuration, a nd plea se in stall identical DDR3 DIMMs in all six slots.

1. Please install the memory module into the white slot (DDR3_A1, DDR3_B1 or DDR3_C1) for the first priority.

2. Due to Intel® CPU spec definition, the system will not boot if only one DIMM is installed into DDR3_A2, DDR3_B2 or DDR3_C2 slot.

3. Due to Intel® CPU spec definition, XMP DIMMs and DDR3 1600 are supported for one DIMM per channel only.

4. You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A, Channel B and Channel C. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel or triple-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.

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

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or

removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining cli ps outward. Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the bre a k

on the slot.

The DIMM only fits 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.

Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully

This motherboard supports CrossFireXTM and Quad CrossFireXTM feature. CrossFireX technology offers the most advantageous means available of combining multiple high performance Graphics Processing Units (GPU) in a single PC. Combining a range of different operating modes with intelligent software design a nd an innovative interconne ct mechanism, CrossFireXTM enables the highest possible level of performa nce a nd i mage quality in any 3D a pplication. Currently CrossFireXTM feature is supported with Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and VistaTM OS. Quad CrossFireX Windows® VistaTM OS only. Please check AMD website for ATITM CrossFireXTM driver updates.

1. If a customer incorrectly configures their system they will not see the performance benefits of CrossFireXTM. All three CrossFireXTM components, a CrossFireXTM Ready graphics card, a CrossFireXTM Ready motherboard and a CrossFireXTM Edition co-processor graphics card, must be installed correctly to benefit from the CrossFireXTM multi-GPU platform.

2. If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFireXTM Edition card with a 16-pipe card, both cards will operate as 12-pipe cards while in CrossFireXTM mode.
