mined by turning the equipment o󰘯 and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the measures listed below.

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit di󰘯erent from that to which the

receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

The changes or modi󰘰cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-

pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Shielded interface cables and A.C. power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply

When you install the mainboard, you have to place the mainboard into the chassis in the

correct direction. The locations of screws holes on the mainboard are shown as below.

Refer above picture to install stando󰘯s in the appropriate locations on chassis and then

screw through the mainboard screw holes into the stando󰘯s.

To prevent damage to the mainboard, any contact between the mainboard circuit and

chassis or unnecessary stando󰘯s mounted on the chassis is prohibited.

Please make sure there are no metal components placed on the mainboard or within

the chassis that may cause short circuit of the mainboard.

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling

fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply

an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to

enhance heat dissipation.

Replacing the CPU While replacing the CPU, always turn o󰘯 the ATX power supply or unplug the power

supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet 󰘰rst to ensure the safety of CPU.

This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your

components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any

If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal system

stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread

Spectrum for EMI reduction.

The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and the

system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value, please

consult your local EMI regulation.

Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight

jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your over-

clocked processor to lock up.

This item is used to adjust the memory voltage.

The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates and

reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores inside the

processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions simultaneously. In

this way, the system performance is highly improved. If you disable the function, the

processor will use only one core to execute the instructions. Please disable this item

if your operating system doesn’t support HT Function, or unreliability and instability

Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system

requires ALL of the following platform Components:
