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 overclocking 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.FSB1600-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. If you use a FSB1600- CPU on this motherboard, you need to adjust the jumpers. Please refer to page 26 for proper jumper settings. Besides, if you want to change a new CPU on this motherboard, please remove the AC power cord from your PC in advance.

2.About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 47.

3.This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 42 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 17 for proper installation.
