This motherboard is equipped with 775-Pin socket that supports Intel 775-LAND CPU.  
Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 775-LAND CPU  
to dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal  
interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.  
Ensure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with  
each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU_FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see  
page 10, No. 4).  
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of  
your CPU fan and heatsink.  
Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU.  
Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center  
of IHS on the socket surface.  
Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure  
fan cables are oriented on side closest to the  
CPU fan connector on the motherboard  
(CPU_FAN1, see page 10, No. 4).  
Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard  
throughholes.  
Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press  
down on fastener caps with thumb to install  
and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.  
If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,  
the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.  
Step 5. Connect fan header with the CPU fan  
connector on the motherboard.  
Step 6. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure  
cable does not interfere with fan operation or  
contact other components.

Wolfdale1333-D667 motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR2 (DoubleData Rate 2)  
DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel  
configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size  
and chip-type) memory modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel  
Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.  
1. It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDR2 slot;  
otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.  
2. If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory  
modules, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.  
Installing a DIMM  
Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or  
removing DIMMs or the system components.  
Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.  
Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break  
on the slot.  
notch  
break

Installation  
This motherboard adopts Intel® ICH7 south bridge chipset that supports Serial ATA  
(SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks. You may install SATA / SATAII hard disks  
on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to  
install the SATA / SATAII hard disks.  
STEP1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.  
STEP2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.  
STEP3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATAII  
connector.  
STEP4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard  
disk.  
2.11 Driver Installation Guide  
To install the drivers to your system, please insert the support CD to your optical drive  
first. Then, the drivers compatible to your system can be auto-detected and listed on  
the support CD driver page. Please follow the order from up to bottom side to install  
those required drivers. Therefore, the drivers you install can work properly.  
2.12 Untied Overclocking Technology  
This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during  
overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you  
enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter “Overclock Mode” option of  
BIOS setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [CPU, PCIE, Async.]. Therefore, CPU  
FSB is untied during overclocking, but PCI / PCIE buses are in the fixed mode so  
that FSB can operate under a more stable overclocking environment.  
Please refer to the warning on page 7 for the possible overclocking risk before  
you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.

read / write command. Configuration options: [2 DRAM Clocks], [3 DRAM  
Clocks], [4DRAM Clocks], [5DRAM Clocks], [6DRAM Clocks] and [Auto].  
DRAM RAS# Precharge  
This controls the idle clocks after a precharge command is issued.  
Configuration options: [2 DRAM Clocks], [3 DRAM Clocks], [4 DRAM  
Clocks], [5 DRAM Clocks], [6 DRAM Clocks] and [Auto].  
DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge  
Thhis controls the number ofDRAM clocks forTRAS. Configuration options:  
[4 DRAM Clocks], [5 DRAM Clocks], [6 DRAM Clocks], [7 DRAM Clocks],

DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) is an architecture that offers  
breakthrough performance for the motherboard through efficient memory  
utilization. In Fixed mode, a fixed-size fragment of the system memory is  
allocated to the graphics core. In DVMT mode, the graphics driver allocates  
memory as needed for running graphics applications and is cooperatively  
using this memory with other system components. In Fixed+DVMT mode,  
the graphics processor gets a fixed-size chunk of 64MB of memory and up  
to 64MB of dynamically-allotted memory. This mode guarantees that at least  
64MB of memory is available to the graphics core, with a possibility to  
increase this amount to 128MB, if necessary. This item will not be used  
under Windows® VistaTM OS because the driver will intelligently detect  
physical memory available and allocate necessary video memory.  
30

Please select [Compatible] when you install legacy OS (Windows NT). If  
native OS (Windows 2000 / XP) is installed, please select [Enhanced].  
When [Compatible] is selected  
Combined Option  
It allows you to select between [SATA 1, SATA 2, SATA 3, SATA 4], [SATA  
1, SATA 3, IDE 1], and [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4]. If it is set to [SATA 1, SATA  
3, IDE 1], then SATAII_2, SATAII_4 will not work. Likewise, if it is set to [IDE  
1, SATA 2, SATA 4], then SATAII_1, SATAII_3 will not work.  
Because Intel® ICH7 south bridge only supports four IDE devices  
under legacy OS (Windows NT), you have to choose [SATA 1, SATA 2,  
SATA 3, SATA 4], [SATA 1, SATA 3, IDE 1], or [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4]  
when the installed device is used with legacy OS.
