CAUTION!

1.  About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page 

68 of “User Manual” in the support CD.

2.  This motherboard supports Quad Channel Memory Technology. Before 

you implement Quad Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read 

the  installation guide of memory modules on page 16 for proper installa-

tion.

3.  Due to Intel

®

 CPU spec de

fi

 nition, the system will not boot if only two 

DIMM are installed into DDR3_B2 and DDR3_D2 slots. Please install the 

memory modules into DDR3_B1 and DDR3_D1 slots 

fi

 rst, then DDR3_

B2 and DDR3_D2 slots can work properly.

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

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

5. Currently 

Intel

®

 Socket 2011 Sandy Bridge-E Processor doesn’t support 

PCIE 3.0, but this motherboard is already PCIE 3.0 hardware ready. It 

depends on Intel’s CPU to enable PCIE 3.0. Please check Intel’s website 

for information on future CPU updates and releases.

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 3 

for proper connection.

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

ferent system functions in a user-friendly interface, which includes Hard-

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

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

shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In Overclocking, 

you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal system perfor-

mance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a pro

fi

 le and share 

it with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC pro

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

 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 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.

European Union to de

fi

 ne the power consumption for the completed sys-

tem. According to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system

should be under 1.00W in off mode condition. To meet EuP standards, 

an EuP ready motherboard and an EuP ready power supply are required. 

According to Intel’s suggestion, the EuP ready power supply must meet 

the standard of 5v, and the standby power ef

fi

 ciency should be higher 

than 50% under 100 mA current consumption. For EuP ready power sup-

ply selection, we recommend you to check with the power supply manu-

facturer for more details.
