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 third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may

affect your system’s 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.

performance under Windows® environment.

ASRock Intelligent Energy Saver

Featuring an advanced proprietary hardware and software de-

sign, Intelligent Energy Saver is a revolutionary technology that

delivers unparalleled power savings. The voltage regulator can

reduce the number of output phases to improve efciency when

the CPU cores are idle. In other words, it is able to provide ex-

ceptional power saving and improve power efficiency without

sacrificing computing performance. To use Intelligent Energy

Saver function, please enable Cool ‘n’ Quiet option in the BIOS

setup in advance.

ASRock Instant Boot

ASRock Instant Boot allows you to turn on your PC in just a few

seconds, provides a much more efcient way to save energy,

time, money, and improves system running speed for your sys-

tem. It leverages the S3 and S4 ACPI features which normally

enable the Sleep/Standby and Hibernation modes in Windows®

to shorten boot up time. By calling S3 and S4 at specic timing

during the shutdown and startup process, Instant Boot allows

you to enter your Windows® desktop in a few seconds.

ASRock Instant Flash

ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS ash utility embedded in Flash

ROM. This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update

system BIOS without entering operating systems rst like MS-

DOS or Windows®. With this utility, you can press the <F6> key

during the POST or the <F2> key to enter into the BIOS setup

menu to access ASRock Instant Flash. Just launch this tool and

save the new BIOS le to your USB ash drive, oppy disk or

hard drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks

without preparing an additional oppy diskette or other compli-

cated ash utility. Please be noted that the USB ash drive or

hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 le system.

ASRock OC DNA

The software name itself – OC DNA literally tells you what it

is capable of. OC DNA, an exclusive utility developed by AS-

Rock, provides a convenient way for the user to record the OC

settings and share with others. It helps you to save your over-

clocking record under the operating system and simplies the

complicated recording process of overclocking settings. With

OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a prole and share

with your friends! Your friends then can load the OC prole to

their own system to get the same OC settings as yours! Please

be noticed that the OC prole can only be shared and worked

on the same motherboard.
