5.Currently Intel® Socket 2011 Sandy Bridge-E Processor doesn’t support PCIE 3.0, but this motherboard is already PCIE 3.0 hardware ready. It depends on Intel’s CPU to enable PCIE 3.0. Please check Intel’s website for information on future CPU updates and releases.

6.For serious gamers and enthusiasts who cannot tolerate mediocre audio,

Premium Headset Amplifier (PHA) provides wider bandwidth, higher slew rate with lower noise and distortion. It also supports up to 250 Ohm high- end headsets, which delivers crisper audio into the users ears.

7.For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 6-chan- nel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 5 for proper connection.

8.Post Status Checker (PSC) diagnoses the computer when users power on the machine. It emits a red light to indicate whether the CPU, memory, VGA or storage is dysfunctional. The lights go off if the four mentioned above are functioning normally.

9.F-Stream is an all-in-one tool to fine-tune different system functions in a user-friendly interface, which currently includes Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA, Mouse Polling and IES. In the Hardware Monitor mode, F-Stream shows the major readings of your system. In Fan Control mode, F-Stream shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In Overclocking Control mode, F-Stream allows you to overclock the CPU frequency for optimal system performance. In OC

DNA mode, you can save your OC settings as a profile and share them with your friends. Your friends can then load the OC profile in to their own system to get the same OC settings. In Mouse Polling mode, F-Stream allows you to adjust the mouse polling rate of the Fatal1ty Mouse port to add a professional level mouse configuration. In IES (Intelligent Energy

Saver) mode, the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output phases to improve efficiency when the CPU cores are idle without sacri- ficing computing performance.

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

This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS without entering operating systems first 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 file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or hard drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without preparing 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.
