(Note 1) Based on standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount. For example, 4 GB of memory size will instead be shown as 3.xx GB during system startup.

(Note 2) To enable 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver.

(Note 3) Whether the CPU fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU cooler you install.

(Note 4) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.

(Note 5) Due to the hardware limitation, you must install the Intel® CoreTM 2 Extreme/ CoreTM 2 Quad/ CoreTM 2 Duo/ Pentium Dual-Core/ Celeron Dual-Core/ Celeron 400 Series CPU to enable support for Easy Energy Saver.
