CAUTION!

1.ASRock UCC (Unlock CPU Core) feature simplifies AMD CPU activation. As long as a simple switch of the UEFI option “AS- Rock UCC”, you can unlock the extra CPU core to enjoy an instant performance boost. When UCC feature is enabled, the dual-core or triple-core CPU will boost to the quad-core CPU, and some CPU, including quad-core CPU, can also increase L3 cache size up to 6MB, which means you can enjoy the upgrade CPU performance with a better price. Please be noted that UCC feature is supported with AM3/AM3+ CPU only, and in addition, not every AM3/AM3+ CPU can support this function because some CPU’s hidden core may be malfunctioned.

2.Whether 2100/1866/1800/1600MHz memory speed is sup- ported depends on the AM3/AM3+ CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3 2100/1866/1800/1600 memory module on this motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our website for the compatible memory modules. Non OC mode’s

DDR3 1866 is supported by AM3+ CPU. ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com
