Caution - overclocking

Page 8 highlights

WARNING Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using the thirdparty overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system stability, or even cause damage to the components and devices of your system. It should be done at your own risk and expense. We are not responsible for possible damage caused by overclocking. CAUTION! 1. This motherboard supports native FSB1333/1066/800 MHz. For normal operation, you do not need to adjust the jumper settings. For special overclocking mode, please refer to page 19 for proper jumper settings. 2. About the setting of "Hyper Threading Technology", please check page 34. 3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Untied Overclocking Technology" on page 25 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 16 for proper installation. 5. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its corresponding memory support frequency. CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency 1333 DDR3 800, DDR3 1066, DDR3 1333 1066 DDR3 800, DDR3 1066 800 DDR3 800 533 DDR3 800 * DDR3 1333 memory modules will operate in overclocking mode. * When you use a FSB533-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at DDR3 533 if you adopt a DDR3 800 memory module. * If you adopt a DDR3 1333 memory module on this motherboard, you need to adjust the jumpers. Please refer to page 19 for proper jumper settings. 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. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and is subject to change. Please check Intel® website for the latest information. 8. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the "SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide" on page 24 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly. 9. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® 7 64-bit / 7 / VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2. 8
