CAUTION!
1. FSB1333-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. Under this situation,
PCIE frequency will also be overclocked to 115MHz.
2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 48.
3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read
“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 44 for details.
4. This motherboard supportsDual 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 corre-
sponding memory support frequency.
CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency
1333 DDRII533*, DDRII667
1066 DDRII533, DDRII667
800 DDRII400, DDRII533, DDRII667
533 DDRII400, DDRII533
* When you use a FSB1333-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at
DDRII500 if you adopt a DDRII533 memory module.
6. Due to the chipset limitation, the actual memory size may be less than
4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows®2000, Win-
dows®XP, Windows®XP 64-bit, Windows®VistaTM and Windows®VistaTM
64-bit.
7. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended
to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended 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. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono
modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel,
6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 11 for
proper connection.
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.

10. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the
“SATAII Hard Disk SetupGuide” on page 33 to adjust your SATAII hard disk
drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII
connector directly.
11. This motherboard supports eSATAII interface, the external SATAII
specification. Please read “eSATAII Interface Introduction” on page 30 for
details about eSATAII and eSATAII installation procedures.
12. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®Windows®
VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.
13. Microsoft®Windows®VistaTM / VistaTM 64-bit driver keeps on updating now. As
long as we have the latest driver, we will update it to our website in the future.
Please visit our website for Microsoft®Windows®VistaTM / VistaTM 64-bit driver
and related information.
