CAUTION! 1. This motherboard supports CPU up to 95W. Please refer to our website for CPU support list. ASRock website http://www.asrock.com 2. UCC (Unlock CPU Core) feature simplifies AMD CPU activation. As long as a simple switch of the BIOS option "ASrock UCC", you can unlock the extra CPU core to enjoy an instant performance boost. When UCC feature is enabled, the dual-core or triple-core CPU will boost to the quad-core CPU, and some CPU, including quad-core CPU, can also increase L3 cache size up to 6MB, which means you can enjoy the upgrade CPU performance with a better price. Please be noted that UCC feature is supported with AM2+ / AM3 / AM3+ CPU only, and in addition, not every AM2+ / AM3 / AM3+ CPU can support this function because some CPU's hidden core may be malfunctioned. 3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Untied Overclocking Technology" on page 32 for details. 4. 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 17 for proper installation. 5. Whether 1600MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM3 / AM3+ CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3 1600 memory module on this motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our website for the compatible memory modules. ASRock website http://www.asrock.com 6. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 7 / VistaTM / XP. For Windows® OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation. 7. Whether 1066MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM2+ / AM3 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. ASRock website http://www.asrock.com 8. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and is subject to change. Please check NVIDIA® website for the latest information. 9. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the "SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide" on page 26 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly. 10. It is a user-friendly ASRock overclocking tool which allows you to surveil your system by hardware monitor function and overclock your hardware devices to get the best system performance under Windows® environment.
