þ GA-8VD667K user’s manual

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 ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX

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.

into the socket.

- 10 -GA-8VD667K Motherboard

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.

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 alre ady
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 dri ve 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.

tried it? The answer is prob ably "no". Because
"Overclock" is thought to be very difficult and in­cludes a lot of technical kn ow-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
