WARNING!

WARNING!

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the A TX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the A TX

power connector on the motherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are
no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting
holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful
of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short
circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard
PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’t let the screw contact
any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the
board or cause board malfunctioning.

 Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s specifications.

We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU’s specification
because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,
chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific
bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,
Chipsets,SDRAM,Cards….etc.

@ BIOS Introduction

Gigabyte announces @ BIOS

Windows BIOS live update utility

Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like
many other people, you just know what BIOS is,
but always hesitate to update it? Because you think
updating newest BIOS is unnecessary and actually
you don’t know how to update it.

Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time
to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from website and
then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS.
The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source
code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.

Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save your
time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it comes! Now Gigabyte
announces @BIOS—the first Windows BIOS live update utility. This is a smart BIOS update
software. It could help you to download the BIOS from internetand update it. Not like the other BIOS
update software, it’s a Windows utility. With the help of “@BIOS’, BIOS updating is no more than a
click.

Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*, @BIOS help
you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard model and help you to
choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site
automatically. There are several different choices; you could use “Internet Update” to download and
update your BIOS directly. Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just choose
“Save Current BIOS” to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS update
your BIOS smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to maintain and
manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte’s innovative product erects a milestone in mainboard
industries.

For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It’s free! Now, if you buy a
Gigabyte’s motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But please
remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update from your
Gigabyte @BIOS.

Easy TuneIIITM Introduction

Gigabyte announces EasyTuneIII

Windows overdrive utility

“Overdrive” might be one of the most
common issues in computer field. But have many
users ever tried it? The answer is probably “no”.
Because “overdrive” is thought to be very difficult and
includes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes “over-

drive” is even considered as special skills found only in some enthusiasts.

But as to the experts in “overdrive”, what’s the truth? They may spend quite a lot of time and money
to study, try and use many different hardware and software tools to do “overdrive”. And even with these
technologies, they still learn that it’s quite a risk because the safety and stability of an “overdrive“ system
is unknown.

Now everything is different because of a Windows overdrive utility EasyTuneIII—announced by
Gigabyte. This utility has totally changed the gaming rule of “overdrive”. This is the first overdrive utility
suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either “Easy Mode” or “Advanced Mode”
to run “overdrive” at their convenience. For users who choose “Easy Mode”, they just need to click
“Auto Optimize” to have auto and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will then overdrive CPU
speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If someone prefers to “overdrive” by
oneself, there is also another choice. Click “Advanced Mode” to enjoy “sport drive” class overclocking.
In “Advanced Mode”, one can change the system bus speed in small increments to get ultimate system
performance. And no matter which mainboard is used, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*, EasyTuneIII helps to
perform the best of system.

Besides, different from other traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTuneIII doesn’t require users to
change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do “overdrive” at
only one click. Therefore, this is a safer way for “overdrive” as nothing is changed on software or
hardware. If user runs EasyTuneIII over system’s limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the
computer again and the side effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed
been tested in EasyTuneIII, user can “Save” this bus speed and “Load” it in next time. Obviously,
Gigabyte EasyTuneIII has already turned the “overdrive” technology toward to a newer generation.

This wonderful software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached driver CD. Users
may make a test drive of “EasyTuneIII” to find out more amazing features by themselves.
