Environmental Safety Instruction
z Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any
area where it may become wet.
z 0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (Actual figure depends on the request of
the main chipset)
z Generally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact malfunction
and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from the welding
spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go through an adaptive
phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold environment to a warmer one to
avoid condensation phenomenon. These water drops attached on PCB or the surface
of the components can bring about phenomena as minor as computer instability
resulted from corrosion and oxidation from components and PCB or as major as short
circuit that can burn the components. Suggest starting the computer until the
temperature goes up.
z The increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer. Using
the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher temperature in
the inner of the case.
z Attention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may
decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.
Environmental Protection Announcement
Do not dispose this electronic device into the trash while discarding. To minimize pollution
and ensure environment protection of mother earth, please recycle.

Introduction of AMD 760G Motherboards
1-1 Features of motherboard
The AMD 760G chipset motherboard series are based on the latest AMD 760G
Chipset and the SB 750 chipset which supports the following AM3 CPU under the
95W range: Phenom II x 6；Phenom II x 4；Phenom II x 3；Phenom II x2；Athlon II x4
；
Athlon II x3；Athlon II x2；Sempron AM3 CPU. With a highly-scalable Hyper Transport
technology-based system bus up to 3000MHz, AMD 760G Platform Processor
Chipset motherboard series deliver the outstanding system performance and
professional desktop platform solution.
The AMD 760G Series motherboards support new generation Socket AM3
processors with an integrated DDRIII memory controller for dual channel DDRIII
1066/DDRIII 1333 modules up to 8GB; These motherboards are embedded with
SB750 chipset which support up to four Serial ATA2 devices with RAID 0, 1, 10,
JBOD functions to accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee the data security without
failure in advanced computing performance.
The AMD 760G Series motherboards are embedded with 6-channel HD Audio
CODEC fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro standards that offer you with the
home cinema quality and satisfying software compatibility.
The AMD 760G Series motherboards offer one PCI-Express x16 graphics slot. This
PCI-Express x16 by16 lane deliver up to 8Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative
direction. The AMD 760G motherboards also carry one 32-bit PCI slot guarantee the
rich connectivity for the I/O peripheral devices.
Embedded USB controllers as well as capability of expanding to 8 of USB2.0
functional ports delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth of rich connectivity, these
motherboards meet the future USB demands which are also equipped with hardware
monitor function on system to monitor and protect your system and maintain your
non-stop business computing.
Some special features---
CPU Thermal Throttling / CPU VID/
CPU Vcore Input &
Output OC-CON
in this motherboard are designed for power user to use the
over-clocking function in more flexible ways. But please be caution that the
over-clocking maybe causes the fails in system reliabilities. This motherboard
provides the guaranteed performance and meets the demands of the next generation
computing. But if you insist to gain more system performance with variety possibilities
of the components you choose, please be careful and make sure to read the detailed
descriptions of these value added product features, please get them in the coming
section.

1-1.1 Special Features of Motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling Technology (The CPU Overheat Protection Technology)
To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at
high workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter
partially idle mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating
temperature in BIOS (from 40℃ to 90℃). When the system senses the CPU
operating temperature reaching the preset value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be
decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool down the processor. When at
throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to indicate it is in working.
CPU VID--- Shift to Higher Performance
The CPU voltage can be adjusted for the precisely over-clocking of extra demanding
computing performance.
CPU Vcore Input & Output OC-CON (High-polymer Solid Electrolysis Aluminum
Capacitors)
CPU Vcore Input and Output adopt OC-CON solid capacitors. OC-CON solid
capacitors make it possible for motherboard to work from 55 degrees Centigrade
below zero to 125 degrees centigrade. OC-CON capacitors possess superior physical
characteristics to prolong product life ten times than corresponding motherboard
without capacitors every time working temperature increases 20 degrees. Life of
product of motherboard with solid capacitors declines only 10% of those without solid
capacitors as well under same conditions.
