Attention:
1.Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.
2.It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid
damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperatures.
3.Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.
4.Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or
removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when
you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC
power supply may result in serious damage to your system or
memory module.
Attention:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of
your device.

Expansion Slots
This motherboard includes two 32-bit master PCI bus slots and one PCI Express x 16 Grahpics slot and one PCI Express x 1 slot .
For the detailed graphics support list one this motherboard, please visit the webiste: ht tp://ww w.foxconnchannel.com
PCI Express Slots
PCI Express will offer the following design advantages over the PCI and AGP
interface:
-Compatible with existing PCI drivers and software and Operating Systems.
-High Bandwidth per Pin. Low overhead. Low latency.
-PCI Express supports a raw bit-rate of 2.5 Gb/s on the data pins. This
results in a real bandwidth per pair of 250 MB/s.
-A point to point connection, allows each device to have a dedicated connection without sharing bandwidth.
-Ability to comprehend different data structure.
-Low power consumption and power management features.
PCI Express will take two forms, x16 and x1 PCI Express slots. Whereas the x16
slot is reserved for graphic/video cards, the x1 slots are designed to accommodate less bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card.
The difference in bandwidth between the x16 and x1 slots are not able to be
sure, with the x16 slot pushing 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent) of bandwidth,
and the x1 PCI Express slot offering 250MB/sec.
Warning:
If a performance graphics card was installed into x16 PCI
Express slot, 2X12 pin power supply was strongly recommended.
