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 17 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.

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

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

tion.

5. xvYCC and Deep Color are only supported under Windows®7 64-bit /

7. Deep Color mode will be enabled only if the display supports 12bpc

in EDID. HBR is supported under Windows®7 64-bit / 7 / VistaTM 64-bit /

VistaTM.

6. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono

modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-chan-

nel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 13

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

8. ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS ﬂash utility embedded in Flash ROM.

without entering operating systems ﬁrst 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 ﬁle to your USB ﬂash drive, ﬂoppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional ﬂoppy diskette or other complicated ﬂash utility. Please

be noted that the USB ﬂash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 ﬁle

system.
