CAUTION!
1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 32
of “User Manual” in the support CD.
2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Un-
tied Overclocking Technology” on page 23 for details.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 3 for
proper connection.
If you plan to use this motherboard to submit Windows® VistaTM Basic logo
certification, it is recommended to use VGA mode instead of TV-OUT
mode. Besides, please enter BIOS setup Advanced Settings Chipset
Configuration NorthBridge Configuration to set the option “Video
Display Devices” to [CRT].
6.
7. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® VistaTM
/ XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.
8. Microsoft® Windows® VistaTM driver is not ready yet. We will update it to our
website in the future. Please visit our website for Microsoft® Windows® VistaTM
driver and related information.
