How to set up Jumper
The illustration shows to how set up jumper. When the Jumper cap is placed on pins, the
jumper is “close”. IF no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is ”open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1and 2 are “close” when jumper cap is placed
on these 2 pins.
Jumper open Jumper close Pin1-2 close
CPU Installation
Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.
Step2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should point wards the
lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.
Step3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation.
5
Step4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU fan power cable to
the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.

For Dual Channel Operation, DIMMs must be populated in identical pairs. It
has to be the combination of DDRA1+DDRB1 (Blue DIMMs) or DDRA2+DDRB2
(white DIMMs).
Dual Channel Guidelines
Matched DIMM configuration in each channel
!" Same Density (128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, etc.)
!" Same DRAM technology (128M-bit, 256M-bit, or 512M-bit)
6
!" Same DRAM bus width (x8 or x16)
!" Both either single-sided or dual-sided
Matched in both Channel A and Channel B memory channels
!" Populate symmetrical memory slots
Optimal platform performance with Dual Channel, DDR400, matched DIMMs
!" Fully loaded configurations can be single or double sided DIMMs
!" Lightly loaded configurations need to be double sided DIMMs
When not using DDR400, best performance obtained with
!" Symmetrical DIMM population and matched double-sided DIMMs
!" Lightly loaded configuration

WarpSpeeder
Introduction
[ WarpSpeeder™ ], a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly functions
including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can ea si ly ad just the frequency they prefer or they c an
get the best CPU performance with just one click. The Overvoltage Manager, on the other
hand, helps to power up CPU core voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware
Monitor smartly indicates the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the
chipset information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about BIOS
model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU, memory, AGP and PCI
along with the CPU speed are synchronically shown on our main panel.
Moreover, to protect users' co mputer systems if the set ting is not appropriate when testing
and results in system fail or hang, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] technology assures the system
stability by automatically rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either
the original system speed or a suitable one.
System Requirement
OS Support: Windows 98 SE, W indows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system includes DirectX 8.1. If
you use Windows XP, you do not need to install DirectX 8.1.)
15
Installation
1. Execute the setup execution file, and then the following dialog will pop up.
Please click “Next” button and follow the default procedure to install.
2. When you see the following dialog in setup procedure, it means setup is
completed. If the “Launch the WarpSpeeder Tray Utility” checkbox is checked,
the Tray Icon utility and [WarpSpeeder™] utility will be automatically and
immediately launched after you click “Finish” button.
16
Usage
The following figures are just only for reference, the screen printed in this user manual will
change according to your motherboard on hand.
[WarpSpeeder™] includes 1 tray icon and 5 panels:
1. Tray Icon:
Whenever the Tray Icon ut ility i s launc hed, it w ill display a litt le tray ic on on th e right sid e of
Windows Taskbar.
17
This utility is responsible for conveniently invoking [WarpSpeeder™] Utility. You can use
the mouse by clicking the left button in order to invoke [WarpSpeeder™] directly from the
little tray icon or you can right-click the little tray icon to pop up a popup menu as following
figure. The “Launch Utility” item in the popup menu has the same function as mouse
left-click on tray icon and “Exit” item will close Tray Icon utility if selected.
2. Main Panel
If you click the tray icon, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will be invoked. Please refer
do the following figure; the utility’s first window you will see is Main Panel.
Main Panel contains features as follows:
a. Display the CPU Speed, CPU external clock, Memory clock, AGP clock, and PCI
clock information.
b. Contains About, Voltage, Overclock, and Hardware Monitor Buttons for invoking
respective panels.
c. With a user-friendly Status Animation, it can represent 3 overclock percentage
stages:
Duck walking => overclock percentage from 100% ~ 110 %
Duck running => overclock percentage from 110% ~ 120%
Duck Burning => overclock percentage from 120% ~ above
18
3. Voltage Panel
Click the Voltage button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Voltage
Panel will slide out to up as the following figure.
In this panel, you can decide to increase CPU core voltage and Memory voltage or not.
The default setting is “No”. If you want to get the best performance of overclocking, we
recommend you click the option “Yes”.
19
4. Overclock Panel
Click the Overclock button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Overclock
Panel will slide out to left as the following figure.
20
Overclock Panel contains the these features:
a. “–3MHz button”, “-1MHz button”, “+1MHz button”, and “+3MHz button”: provide
user the ability to do real-time overclock adjustment.
Warning: Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when the
overclocking percent age is over 110 %. W e strongly recommend yo u verify
every speed you overc lock by click the Verify button. Or, you can just c lick
Auto overclock butto n and l et [ WarpSp eeder™ ] automatica lly gets t he best
result for you.
b. “Recovery Dialog button”: Pop up the following dialog. Let user select a restoring
way if system need to do a fail-safe reboot.
21
c. “Auto-overclock button”: User can click this button and [ WarpSpeeder™ ] will set
the best and stable performance and frequency automatically. [ WarpSpeeder™ ]
utility will execute a series of testing until system fail. Then system will do fail-safe
reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, the [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will
restore to the hardware default setting or load the verified best and stable
frequency according to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.
d. “Verify button”: User can click this button and [ WarpSpeeder™ ] will proceed a
testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok, then the current frequency will be
saved into system registry. If the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting.
After reboot, the [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according to the Recovery
Dialog’s setting.
Note: Because the t esting programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw, Direc t3 D and DirectShow tests, the Direc tX 8.1 or ne wer
runtime library is required. And please mak e sure your display card ’s color
depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is required for
Direct3D rendering.
22
5. Hardware Monitor Panel
Click the Hardware Monitor button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the
Hardware Monitor panel will slide out to left as the following figure.
In this panel, you can get the real-time status information of your system. The information
will be refreshed every 1 second.
6. About Panel
Click the About button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the About Panel
will slide out to up as the following figure.
In this panel, you can get model name and detail information in hints of all the chipset that
are related to overclocking. You can also get the mainboard’s BIOS model and the
Version number of [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility.
23
Note: Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate ch ipset, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] divide these
features to separate panels. If one chipset is not o n board, the correlative
button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere other panels’
functions. This property can make [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility more robust.
