CAUTION! 1. For power-saving's sake, it is strongly recommended to enable AMD's Cool 'n' QuietTM technology under Windows system. See APPENDIX on page 53 to enable AMD's Cool 'n' QuietTM technology. Since not all K8 939-pin CPU can support AMD's Cool 'n' QuietTM technology, please check AMD's website for details. 2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Untied Overclocking Technology" on page 34 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 14 for proper installation. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. This motherboard supports NVIDIA SLITM technology, please read "Dual Graphics Feature" on page 18 for jumper settings. PCIE3 slot is intended for SLITM function. If you plan to install only one PCI Express VGA card to this motherboard, please install it to PCIE1 slot. For the information of the compatible SLITM Mode PCI Express VGA cards, please refer to the "Supported PCI Express VGA Card List for SLITM Mode" on page 9. For the proper installation of PCI Express VGA card, please refer to the installation guide on page 16. 7. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the "SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide" on page 30 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. Besides, you are allowed to downgrade the SATAII hard disk to SATA hard disk (from SATAII 3Gb/s down to SATA 1.5Gb/s), and connect it to the SATAII connector. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly. 8. This motherboard supports eSATAII interface, the external SATAII specification. Please read "eSATAII Interface Introduction" on page 27 for details about eSATAII and eSATAII installation procedures. (Port Multiplier Technology is not supported with eSATAII interface on this motherboard.) 9. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4. 8
