Page 8 highlights

CAUTION! 1. ASRock UCC (Unlock CPU Core) feature simplifies AMD CPU activation. As long as a simple switch of the UEFI 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 AM3/AM3+ CPU only, and in addition, not every AM3/AM3+ CPU can support this function because some CPU's hidden core may be malfunctioned. 2. Whether 2100/1866/1800/1600MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM3/AM3+ CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3 2100/1866/1800/1600 memory module on this motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our website for the compatible memory modules. Non OC mode's DDR3 1866 is supported by AM3+ CPU. ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com 3. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 8 / 7 / VistaTM / XP. For Windows® 64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation. You can use ASRock XFast RAM to utilize the memory that Windows® cannot use. 4. ASRock XFast RAM is not supported by Microsoft® Windows® XP / XP 64-bit. 8 ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 Motherboard English

some CPU’s hidden core may be malfunctioned.
2.
Whether 2100/1866/1800/1600MHz memory speed is sup-
ported depends on the AM3/AM3+ CPU you adopt. If you want
to adopt DDR3 2100/1866/1800/1600 memory module on this
motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our
website for the compatible memory modules. Non OC mode’s
DDR3 1866 is supported by AM3+ CPU.
