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. ASRock ConRoe1333-DVI/H Motherboard CAUTION! 1. 2. 3. 4. FSB1333-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. Under this situation, PCIE frequency will also be overclocked to 115MHz. About the setting of "Hyper Threading Technology", please check page 31 of "User Manual" in the support CD. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Untied Overclocking Technology" on page 23 for details. 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. There are memory module installation limitations on this motherboard, please read "Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)" on page 12 for details. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its corresponding memory support frequency. CPU FSB Frequency Memory Support Frequency 1333 DDRII533*, DDRII667 1066 DDRII533, DDRII667 800 DDRII400, DDRII533, DDRII667 533 DDRII400, DDRII533 * When you use a FSB1333-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at DDRII500 if you adopt a DDRII533 memory module. Due to the chipset limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® XP, Windows® XP 64-bit, Windows® VistaTM and Windows® VistaTM 64-bit. 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. 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. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and is subject to change. Please check Intel® website for the latest information. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 3 for proper connection. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the "SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide" on page 22 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly.
