i865G-IM 1-3
Intel®65nanometer process technology support
The motherboard supports Intel®processors built on the 65-nanometer (nm)
process technology with copper interconnect. Intelʼs 65 nm process is the most
advanced chip manufacturing technology, delivering breakthrough performance,
enhanced media experience, and low power consumption. The Intel® 65 nm
Dual-Core processors utilize this package technology for a thinner, lighter design
without compromising performance. See page 1-9 for details.
Integrated Intel®Extreme Graphics 2
The Intel®865G chipset on the motherboard integrates the Intel®Extreme
Graphics 2 architecture to deliver realistic 3D/2D graphics with sharp images,
fast rendering, smooth motion, and clearly dened details. This unique architecture
balances the memory usage between graphics and the system for optimal performance
with a maximum UMA share memory size of 96MB, a maximum resolution of 2048 x
1536(@75Hz) and a maximum refresh rate of 85Hz(@1800 x 1440). See page
1-27 for details.
Dual-channel DDR400 memory support
Employing the Double Data Rate (DDR) memory technology, the motherboard
supports up to 4GB of system memory using DDR400/333/266 DIMMs. The
ultra-fast 400MHz memory bus delivers the required bandwidth for the latest 3D
graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See 1-16 to 1-19 for details.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the Intel® ICH5 chipset. The SATA specication allows for thinner,
more exible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to
150 MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-29 for details.
AI Audio
The motherboard comes with the Realtek®ALC655 audio CODEC that lets you
enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards. It
also features intelligent detection of plugged peripherals into the audio ports and identies
any incompatible devices. See page 1-27 for details.

1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction
1.3.2 Innovative Advansus features
CPU Lock Free Support
This feature allows you to adjust the CPU multiplier to 14X. Making appropriate
BIOS setting automatically reduces the CPU multiplier value for more exibility
when increasing external FSB.
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support CD in case
when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the need to
buy a replacement ROM chip. See details on page 2-6.
Advansus EZ Flash BIOS
With the Advansus EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before
loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a
oppy disk. See page 2-3 for details.
10/100 Mbps LAN support
Easy connectivity to your network or broadband connection with the onboard LAN
port. Allows you to play online games without buying expensive additional LAN
cards. See page 1-26 for details.
AGP 8X support
The AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) VGA interface specication enhances graphics
performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specication,
dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB
1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.
See page 1-27 and page 1-32 for details.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the ASIC (integrated in the Winbond Super
I/O) to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute
(RPM) is monitored for timely xure detection. The ASIC monitors the voltage levels
to ensure stable supply of current for critical components. See page 2-28 for
details.

i865G-IM 1-5
C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the
BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking. When the
system hangs due to overclocking, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system
chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and the
BIOS automatically restores the CPU default setting for each parameter. See page
1-23 for details.

1-6 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate
that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder
that you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before
removing or plugging in any motherboard component. The illustration below
shows the location of the onboard LED.
1.4 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal
object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to
avoid damaging them due to static electricity
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic
pad or in the bag that came with the component.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power
supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power
supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,
peripherals, and/or components.

1.5 Motherboard overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to
ensure that the motherboard ts into it.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage
motherboard components.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.
1.5.1 Placement direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in
the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the
chassis as indicated in the image below.
1.5.2 Screw holes
Place eight (8) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the
