CAUTION!
1. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read
“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 29 for details.
2. 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 14 for proper
installation.
3. Whether 1066MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM2+
CPU you adopt. Since DDRII1066 specification is out of JEDEC memory
standard, if you want to adopt DDRII1066 memory module on this
motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our website for
the compatible memory modules.

64-
bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.
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. 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.
8. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the “SATAII
Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 23 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to
SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector
directly.

WiFi-802.11n module, an easy-to-use wireless local area network
(WLAN) adapter. It allows you to create a wireless environment and
enjoy the convenience of wireless network connectivity. Please visit our
