CAUTION!
1. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read
“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 24 for details.
2. Both NVIDIA
®
GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 and GeForce 6150SE / nForce
430 refer to the same chipset. If you install NVIDIA ® driver with 91.63 version
or above under Windows ® 2000 / XP / XP 64-bit, or install NVIDIA ® driver with
97.19 version or above under Windows ® Vista TM / Vista TM 64-bit, the chipset
name will be GeForce 6150SE / nForce 430 instead of GeForce 6100 /
nForce 430. However, the difference in device name under Windows
®
does
not affect any specification and feature of this motherboard.
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 10 for proper
installation.
4. Whether 1066MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM2+
CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR2 1066 memory module on this
motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our website for
the compatible memory modules.

5. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be
less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows
®
XP
and Windows ® Vista TM . For Windows ® XP 64-bit and Windows ® Vista TM
64-bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. This motherboard supports ASRock AM2 Boost overclocking technology. If
you enable this function in the BIOS setup, the memory performance will
improve up to 12.5%, but the effect still depends on the AM2 CPU you
adopt. Enabling this function will overclock the chipset/CPU reference clock.
However, we can not guarantee the system stability for all CPU/DRAM
configurations. If your system is unstable after AM2 Boost function is enabled,
it may not be applicative to your system. You may choose to disable this
function for keeping the stability of your system.
9. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono
modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel
and 6-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3 for proper
connection.
