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 third-party over-

clocking 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. ASRock UCC (Unlock CPU Core) feature simplifi es AMD CPU activa-

tion. 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. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read

“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 47 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 17 for proper installation.

4. Whether 2100/1866/1800/1600MHz memory speed is supported de-

pends 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.

ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com

5. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be

®

less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows

7 /

TM

®

Vista

/ XP. For Windows

64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such

limitation.

6. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono

modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-chan-

nel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 13

for proper connection.

7. Users need to choose computer chassis which has USB3.0 connectors

to enjoy the Front USB3.0 feature.

8. ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one tool to ne-tune

different system functions in a user-friendly interface, which is including

Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA and IES. In Hard-

ware Monitor, it shows the major readings of your system. In Fan Control,

it shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In Overclock-

ing, you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal system

performance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a profi le

and share with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC profi le to

their own system to get the same OC settings. In IES (Intelligent Energy

Saver), the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output phases to

improve effi ciency when the CPU cores are idle without sacrifi cing com-

puting performance. Please visit our website for the operation procedures

of ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU).
