It also features Virtual Vsync™ for no-compromise visual quality. With the added benefits of HyperFormance technology, VIRTU Universal MVP improves game performance by intelligently reduc- ing redundant rendering tasks in the flow between the CPU, GPU and the display.

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

18.While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the moth- erboard 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.

19.Combo Cooler Option (C.C.O.) provides the flexible option to adopt three different CPU cooler types, Socket LGA 775, LGA 1155 and LGA 1156. Please be noticed that not all the 775 and 1156 CPU Fan can be used.

20.ASRock XFast RAM is not supported by Microsoft® Windows® XP / XP 64-bit. Intel® Smart Connect Technology and Intel® USB 3.0 ports are not supported by Microsoft® Windows® VistaTM / VistaTM 64-bit / XP / XP 64- bit.

21.EuP stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by the European Union to define the power consumption for the completed system. According to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system should be under 1.00W in off mode condition. To meet EuP standards, an EuP ready motherboard and an EuP ready power supply are required. According to Intel’s suggestion, the EuP ready power supply must meet the standard of 5v, and the standby power efficiency should be higher than 50% under 100 mA current consumption. For EuP ready power sup- ply selection, we recommend you to check with the power supply manu- facturer for more details.
