WARNING

Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting

the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using the third-

party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system stability, or even

cause damage to the components and devices of your system. It should be done at

your own risk and expense. We are not responsible for possible damage caused by

overclocking.

CAUTION!

1. FSB1333-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. Under this situation,

PCIE frequency will also be overclocked to 115MHz. Besides, if you want

to overclock the CPU you adopt from FSB800 to FSB1066, you need to

adjust the jumpers. Please refer to page 14 for proper jumper settings.

2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 30

of “User Manual” in the support CD.

3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read

“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 19 for details.

4. This motherboard supportsDual Channel Memory Technology. Before you

implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the

installation guide of memory modules on page 12 for proper installation.

5. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its corre-

sponding memory support frequency.

CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency

1333 DDR2 533*, DDR2 667

1066 DDR2 533, DDR2 667

800 DDR2 400, DDR2 533, DDR2 667

533 DDR2 400, DDR2 533

* When you use a FSB1333-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at

DDR2 500 if you adopt a DDR2 533 memory module.

6. Due to the chipset limitation, the actual memory size may be less than

4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows®XP, Windows®

XP 64-bit, Windows®VistaTM and Windows®VistaTM 64-bit.

7. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and

is subject to change. Please check Intel®website for the latest information.

8. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII

Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 23 of “User Manual” in the support CD to

adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA

hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

9. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®Windows®

VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.

10. Featuring an advanced proprietary hardware and software design,

Intelligent Energy Saver is a revolutionary technology that delivers

unparalleled power savings. In other words, it is able to provide exceptional

power saving and improve power efficiency without sacrificing computing

performance. Please visit our website for the operation procedures of

Intelligent Energy Saver.

11. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended

to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU

bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the

CPU.

12. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.

Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the

motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it

back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal

grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install mother-

board components or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the

motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static

electricity,NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet

or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch

a safety grounded object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded

antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the

motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the

screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

CPU Installation

For the installation of Intel 775-LAND CPU,

please follow the steps below.

Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check if

the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket.

Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is

found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

775-Pin Socket Overview

Step 1. Open the socket:

Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing

down and out on the hook to clear

retention tab.

Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-

sition at approximately 135 degrees.

Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-

sition at approximately 100 degrees.

Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU:

Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are

marked with black lines.

Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated

Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two

orientation key notches.

For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key

notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.

Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket

by using a purely vertical motion.

Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket

and properly mated to the orient keys.

Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap):

Use your left hand index finger and thumb to

support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap

with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the

socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to

assist in removal.
