Installing the CPU |
|
|
||
|
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU: |
|
|||
|
•• |
Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU. |
|
||
|
|
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.) |
|
||
|
•• |
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the |
|||
|
•• |
CPU to prevent hardware damage. |
|
|
|
|
Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. |
||||
|
•• |
Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU. |
|
||
|
•• |
Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage |
|||
|
•• |
of the CPU may occur. |
|
|
|
|
Set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the CPU specifications. It is not recommended |
||||
|
|
that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the |
|||
|
|
standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard |
|||
|
|
specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics |
|||
|
|
card, memory, hard drive, etc. |
|
|
|
Installing the CPU |
|
|
|

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:
•• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)
•• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.
•• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
Dual Channel Memory Configuration
This motherboard provides four memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory. Enabling Dual
Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The four memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
Channel A: DDR4_2, DDR4_4Channel B: DDR4_1, DDR4_3

Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1.Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2.When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. For optimum performance, when enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, we recommend that you install them in the DDR4_1 and DDR4_2 sockets.
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install an expansion card:
•• Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came with your expansion card.
•• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing an expansion card to prevent hardware damage.
A.System Requirements
-- Windows 10 64-bit operating system
-- A CrossFire/SLI-supported motherboard with two or more PCI Express x16 slots and correct driver -- CrossFire/SLI-ready graphics cards of identical brand and chip and correct driver
-- CrossFire (Note)/SLI bridge connectors
-- A power supply with sufficient power is recommended (Refer to the manual of your graphics cards for the power requirement)
B.Connecting the Graphics Cards
Step 1:
Observe the steps in "1-5 Installing an Expansion Card" and install CrossFire/SLI graphics cards on the PCI
Express x16 slots. (To set up a 2-Way configuration, we recommend installing the graphics cards on the
PCIEX16 and PCIEX8 slots.) Step 2:
Insert the CrossFire (Note)/SLI bridge connectors in the CrossFire/SLI gold edge connectors on top of the cards. Step 3:
Plug the display cable into the graphics card on the PCIEX16 slot.
C. Configuring the Graphics Card Driver
C-1. To Enable CrossFire Function
After installing the graphics card driver in the operating system, go to the AMD RADEON SETTINGS screen. Browse to Gaming\Global Settings and ensure AMD CrossFire is set to On.
C-2. To Enable SLI Function
After installing the graphics card driver in the operating system, go to the NVIDIA Control Panel. Browse to the
Configure SLI, Surround, Physx screen and ensure Maximize 3D performance is enabled.
(Note) |
The bridge connector(s) may be needed or not depending on your graphics cards. |
Procedure and driver screen for enabling CrossFire/SLI technology may differ by graphics cards and driver version. Refer to the manual that came with your graphics cards for more information about enabling CrossFire/SLI technology.

1/2)ATX_12V/ATX_12V1/ATX (2x4, 2x2, 12V Power Connectors and 2x12 Main Power
Connector)
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.
The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start.
To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.
