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 over-

clocking 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. This motherboard supports Dual 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.

2. Whether 2400/1866/1600MHz memory speed is supported depends on

the CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3 2400/1866/1600 memory

module on this motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on

our website for the compatible memory modules.

ASRock website http://www.asrock.com

3. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be

less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows®7 /

VistaTM / XP. For Windows®64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such

limitation. You can use ASRock XFast RAM to utilize the memory that

Windows®cannot use.

4. The maximum shared memory size is dened by the chipset vendor and

is subject to change. Please check AMD website for the latest informa-

tion.

5. ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one tool to ne-tune

different system functions in a user-friendly interface, which is including

Hardware Monitor, Fan Control and IES. In Hardware Monitor, it shows

the major readings of your system. In Fan Control, it shows the fan speed

and temperature for you to adjust. In IES (Intelligent Energy Saver), the

voltage regulator can reduce the number of output phases to improve

efficiency when the CPU cores are idle without sacrificing computing

performance. Please visit our website for the operation procedures of

ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU).

ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com

6. 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 <F6> key during the POST or press <F2> key to

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 prepar-

ing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash utility. Please

be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 le

system.

7. If you desire a faster, less restricted way of charging your Apple devices,

such as iPhone/iPod/iPad Touch, ASRock has prepared a wonderful solu-

tion for you - ASRock APP Charger. Simply installing the APP Charger

driver, it makes your iPhone charged much quickly from your computer

and up to 40% faster than before. ASRock APP Charger allows you to

quickly charge many Apple devices simultaneously and even supports

continuous charging when your PC enters into Standby mode (S1), Sus-

pend to RAM (S3), hibernation mode (S4) or power off (S5). With APP

Charger driver installed, you can easily enjoy the marvelous charging

experience than ever.

ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com/Feature/AppCharger/index.asp

8. ASRock XFast USB can boost USB storage device performance. The

performance may depend on the property of the device.

9. ASRock XFast LAN provides a faster internet access, which includes be-

low benets. LAN Application Prioritization: You can congure your appli-

cation priority ideally and/or add new programs. Lower Latency in Game:

After setting online game priority higher, it can lower the latency in game.

Traffic Shaping: You can watch Youtube HD video and download files

simultaneously. Real-Time Analysis of Your Data: With the status window,

you can easily recognize which data streams you are currently transfer-

ring.

10. ASRock XFast RAM is a new function that is included into ASRock Ex-

treme Tuning Utility (AXTU). It fully utilizes the memory space that cannot

be used under Windows®OS 32-bit CPU. ASRock XFast RAM shortens

the loading time of previously visited websites, making web surng faster

than ever. And it also boosts the speed of Adobe Photoshop 5 times

faster. Another advantage of ASRock XFast RAM is that it reduces the

frequency of accessing your SSDs or HDDs in order to extend their lifes-

pan.

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

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

erboard 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.

12. ASRock XFast RAM is not supported by Microsoft® Windows®XP / XP 64-

bit.

13. EuP, stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by Eu-

ropean Union to dene the power consumption for the completed system.

According to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system shall be

under 1.00W in off mode condition. To meet EuP standard, an EuP ready

motherboard and an EuP ready power supply are required. According to

Intel’s suggestion, the EuP ready power supply must meet the standard

of 5v standby power efciency is higher than 50% under 100 mA current

consumption. For EuP ready power supply selection, we recommend you

checking with the power supply manufacturer for more details.

2. Installation

This is a Micro ATX form factor (8.8-in x 6.8-in, 22.4 cm x 17.3 cm) motherboard.

Before you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure

that the motherboard ts into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard

components or change any motherboard settings.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the

power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the

power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the

motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

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

component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static elec-

tricity, 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 anti-

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

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

board to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing

so may damage the motherboard.
