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. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 23
of “User Manual” in the support CD.
2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Un-
tied Overclocking Technology” on page 15 for details.
3. 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 9 for proper installation.
4. Please check the table below for the memory support frequency and its
corresponding CPU FSB frequency.
CPU FSB Frequency
Memory Support Frequency
800
533
DDR266, DDR320*, DDR400
DDR266, DDR333
* When you use an FSB800-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at
DDR320 if you adopt a DDR333 memory module.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on the AGP slot of this motherboard!
It may cause permanent damage!
8. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP
SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4. It may not work properly under Microsoft® Win-
dows® 98/ ME.

Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also
remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded
object before you handle components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

STEP 1: Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90o angle.
STEP 2: Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked
corner matches the base of the socket lever.
STEP 3: Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU
into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.
STEP 4: When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you
push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on
the side tab to indicate that it is locked.
Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly
refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors.
