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 third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may

affect your system’s 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. Intel® Small Business Advantage is a customizable platform in-

tegrated with IT tools, which helps maximize employee produc-

tivity, PC performance, and data security. There are applications

including Software Monitor, PC Health Center, Data Backup &

Restore, Energy Saver and USB Blocker.

2. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size

may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage

under Windows® 8 / 7 / VistaTM / XP. For Windows® OS with 64-

bit CPU, there is no such limitation. You can use ASRock XFast

RAM to utilize the memory that Windows

® cannot use.

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

you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal system

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

a prole and share it with your friends. Your friends then can

load the OC prole to their own system to get the same OC set-

tings. In IES (Intelligent Energy Saver), the voltage regulator

can reduce the number of output phases to improve efciency

when the CPU cores are idle without sacricing computing per-

formance. In XFast RAM, it fully utilizes the memory space that

cannot be used under Windows® OS 32-bit CPU.

HDCP Function

HDCP function is supported on this motherboard. To use HDCP

function with this motherboard, you need to adopt the monitor

that supports HDCP function as well. Therefore, you can enjoy

the superior display quality with high-denition HDCP

encryption contents. Please refer to below instruction for more

details about HDCP function.

What is HDCP?

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection,

a specication developed by Intel

® for protecting digital

entertainment content that uses the DVI interface. HDCP is a

copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of

intercepting digital data midstream between the video source,

or transmitter - such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box -

and the digital display, or receiver - such as a monitor, television

or projector. In other words, HDCP specication is designed to

protect the integrity of content as it is being transmitted.

Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD

players, satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few

entertainment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant

display. Due to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP

in their equipment, it is highly recommended that the HDTV or

LCD monitor you purchase is compatible.
