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.

CAUTION!

1. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read

“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 24 for details.

2. 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 12 for proper installation.

3. Whether 1066MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM2+ CPU

you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR2 1066 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

without entering operating systems first like MS-DOS or Windows

®

. With

this utility, you can press <F6> key during the POST or press <F2> key to

BIOS setup menu to access ASRock Instant Flash. Just launch this tool

and save the new BIOS file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Please

be noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 file

system.

11. The software name itself – OC DNA literally tells you what it is capable of.

OC DNA, an exclusive utility developed by ASRock, provides a conve-

nient way for the user to record the OC settings and share with others. It

helps you to save your overclocking record under the operating system

and simplifies the complicated recording process of overclocking settings.

With OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a profile and share with

your friends! Your friends then can load the OC profile to their own system

to get the same OC settings as yours! Please be noticed that the OC

profile can only be shared and worked on the same motherboard.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. This motherboard supports ASRock AM2 Boost overclocking technology. If

you enable this function in the BIOS setup, the memory performance will

improve up to 12.5%, but the effect still depends on the AM2 CPU you adopt.

Enabling this function will overclock the chipset/CPU reference clock. However,

we can not guarantee the system stability for all CPU/DRAM configurations.

If your system is unstable after AM2 Boost function is enabled, it may not be

applicative to your system. You may choose to disable this function for

keeping the stability of your system.

15. EuP, stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by European

Union to define the power consumption for the completed system. According

to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system shall be under 1.00W in

off mode condition. To meet EuP standard, an EuP ready motherboard and an

99

EuP ready power supply are required. According to Intel’s suggestion, the EuP

ready power supply must meet the standard of 5v standby power efficiency

is higher than 50% under 100 mA current consumption. For EuP ready power

supply selection, we recommend you checking with the power supply manu-

facturer for more details.

Jumpers Setup

The illustration shows how jumpers are setup.

When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the

jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on

pins, the jumper is “Open”. The illustration

shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and

pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is placed on

these 2 pins.

Jumper Setting

PS2_USB_PW1 Short pin2, pin3 to enable

(see p.2, No. 1) +5VSB (standby) for PS/2 or

USB wake up events.

Note: To select +5VSB, it requires 2 Amp and higher standby current provided by

power supply.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.2, No. 9)

Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes

system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system

setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup,

please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply.

After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1

for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the

BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS, you

must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-

CMOS action.
