Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
English
Step 1-1: CPU Installation
Before installing the processor , adhere to the following warning:
If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will
cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
Angling the
rod to 65
1. Angling the rod to 65-degree maybe feel a
kind of tight , and then continue pull the rod to
90-degree when a noise “cough” made.

Step 1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation
Before installing the CPU Heat Sink , adhere to the following warning:
1.Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
2.We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction
between your CPU and heatsink.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal
paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the
processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the
processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape
instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)
3.Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this
completes the installation.
Please refer to CPU heat sink user's manual for more detail installation procedure.
English
1. Fasten the heatsink supporting-base
onto the CPU socket on the
mainboard.
2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector, than install
complete.

Step 2: Install memory modules
English
The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects
memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket .The
DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between sockets.
Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:
When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.
Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notches.
Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into
the DIMM slot. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM
slots to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish
to remove the DIMM module.
DDR Introduction
Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high
performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs and
system integrators.
DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing SDRAM
infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by doubling
the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration path from existing
SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR memory
(DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling edge of the clock,
achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM clock frequency.
With peak bandwidth of 2.664GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs to build high
performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations, high-end
PC's and value desktop SMA systems. With a core voltage of only 2.5 Volts compared to conventional
SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops and notebook
applications.

@ 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 TuneTM 4 Introduction
Gigabyte announces EasyTune
English
EasyTune 4 carries on the heritage so as to pave the way for future generations.
Overclock" might be one of the most common issues in computer field. But have many users ever
and stability of an "Overclock" system is unknown. Now everything is different because of a Windows based overclocking utility "EasyTune 4" --announced by Gigabyte. This windows based utility
has totally changed the gaming rule of "Overclock". This is the first windows based overclocking
utility is suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either "Easy Mode" or "Advanced Mode" for overclocking at their convenience. For users who choose "Easy Mode", they just
need to click "Auto Optimize" to have autoed and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will
then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If users
prefer "Overclock" by them, there is also another choice. Click "Advanced Mode" to enjoy "sport
drive" class Overclocking user interface. "Advanced Mode", allows users to change the system bus
/ AGP / Memory working frequency in small increments to get ultimate system performance. It operates in coordination with Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other traditional overclocking methods, EasyTune 4 doesn't require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/
jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do "Overclock" at easy step . Therefore, this is a safer
way for "Overclock" as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs EasyTune 4 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 has been tested in EasyTune 4, user
can "Save" this setting and "Load" it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune 4 has already
turned the "Overclock" technology toward to a newer generation. This wonderful software is now
free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached in driver CD. Users may make a test drive of
"EasyTune 4" to find out more amazing features by themselves.
*Some Gigabyte products are not fully supported by EasyTune 4. Please find the products supported list in the web site.
*Any "Overclocking action" is at user's risk, Gigabyte Technology will not be responsible for any
damage or instability to your processor, motherboard, or any other components.

4 Windows based Overclocking utility
tried it? The answer is probably "no". Because
"Overclock" is thought to be very difficult and includes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes
"Overclock" is even considered as special skills
found only in some enthusiasts. But as to the experts in "Overclock", what's the truth? They may
spend quite a lot of time and money to study, try
and use many different hardware or BIOS tools to
do "Overclock". And even with these technologies,
they still learn that it's quite a risk because the safety
