ASRock Version 1.0 specs

CAUTION!

1.FSB1600-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. Under this situation, PCIE frequency will also be overclocked to 120MHz. If you use a FSB1600- CPU on this motherboard, you need to adjust the jumpers. If you want to overclock the CPU you adopt from FSB800 to FSB1066, you need to adjust the jumpers as well. Please refer to page 18 for proper jumper settings.

2.About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 28.

3.This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 24 for details.

4.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 16 for proper installation.

5.Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its corresponding memory support frequency.

CPU FSB Frequency	Memory Support Frequency
1600	DDR2 800
1333	DDR2 667, DDR2 800
1066	DDR2 667, DDR2 800

6.Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® XP and Windows® VistaTM. For Windows® XP 64-bit and Windows® VistaTM 64- bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

7.Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recom- mended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recom- mended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU.

8.While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard 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.

9.The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and is subject to change. Please check Intel® website for the latest information.

10.Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 23 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

11.Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.
