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.  
7
CAUTION!  
1. FSB1600-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. Under this situation,  
PCIE frequency will also be overclocked to 120MHz. If you use a FSB1600-  
CPU on this motherboard, you need to adjust the jumpers. If you want to  
overclock the CPU you adopt from FSB800 to FSB1066, you need to  
adjust the jumpers as well. Please refer to page 18 for proper jumper  
settings.  
2. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page  
28.  
3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read  
“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 24 for details.  
4. 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 16 for proper  
installation.  
5. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its  
corresponding memory support frequency.  
CPU FSB Frequency  
Memory Support Frequency  
DDR2 800  
1600  
1333  
1066  
800  
DDR2 667, DDR2 800  
DDR2 667, DDR2 800  
DDR2 667, DDR2 800  
6. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be  
less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® XP  
and Windows® VistaTM. For Windows® XP 64-bit and Windows® VistaTM 64-  
bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.  
7. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recom-  
mended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recom-  
mended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system  
or damage the CPU.  
8. 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.  
9. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor  
and is subject to change. Please check Intel® website for the latest  
information.  
10. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the  
“SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 23 to adjust your SATAII hard  
disk drive to SATAII mode. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII  
connector directly.

Chapter 2 Installation  
4Core1600-D800 is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6" x 8.4", 24.4 x 21.3 cm) motherboard.  
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure  
that the motherboard fits into it.  
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the  
motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and  
damages to motherboard components.  
2.1 Screw Holes  
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the  
chassis.  
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.  
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions  
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components  
or change any motherboard settings.  
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.  
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVER  
place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use  
a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle  
components.  
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.  
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or  
in the bag that comes with the component.

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.
