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.

CAUTION!  
1. FSB1333-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. Under this situation,  
PCIE frequency will also be overclocked to 115MHz.  
2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read  
“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 24 for details.  
3. 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.  
4. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its corre-  
sponding memory support frequency.

533  
* When you use a FSB1333-CPU on this motherboard, it will run at  
DDRII500 if you adopt a DDRII533 memory module.  
5. 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.  
6. 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.  
7. 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.  
8. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor and  
is subject to change. Please check Intel® website for the latest information.  
9. 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 11 for

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 HDMR Card and Driver Installation  
If you do not insert HDMR card to this motherboard, and you finish installing all  
drivers to your system now, but in the future, you plan to use HDMR card function  
on this motherboard, please follow the steps below then.  
1. Insert HDMR card to HDMR slot on this motherboard. Please make sure that the  
HDMR card is completely seated on the slot.  
2. Install HDMR card driver from our support CD to your system.  
3. Reboot your system.  
2.13 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.

Enhance Halt State  
All processors support the Halt State (C1). The C1 state is supported  
through the native processor instructions HLT and MWAIT and requires no  
hardware support from the chipset. In the C1 power state, the processor  
maintains the context of the system caches.  
Max CPUID Value Limit  
For Prescott CPU only, some OSes (ex. NT4.0) cannot handle the function  
with disable. This should be enabled in order to boot legacy OSes that  
cannot support CPUs with extended CPUID functions.  
CPU Thermal Throttling  
You may select [Enabled] to enable P4 CPU internal thermal control mecha-  
nism to keep the CPU from overheated. This option will be hidden if the  
current CPU does not support CPU Thermal Throttling.  
No-Excute Memory Protection  
No-Execution (NX) Memory Protection Technology is an enhancement to  
the IA-32 Intel Architecture. An IA-32 processor with “No Execute (NX)  
Memory Protection” can prevent data pages from being used by malicious  
software to execute code. This option will be hidden if the current CPU  
does not support No-Excute Memory Protection.  
Intel (R) SpeedStep(tm) tech.  
Intel (R) SpeedStep(tm) tech. is Intel’s new power saving technology.  
Processor can switch between multiple frequency and voltage points to  
enable power savings. The default value is [Auto]. Configuration options:  
[Auto], [Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you install Windows® XP and select  
[Auto], you need to set the “Power Schemes” as “Portable/Laptop” to en-  
able this function. If you install Windows® VistaTM and want to enable this  
function, please set this item to [Enabled]. This item will be hidden if the  
current CPU does not support Intel (R) SpeedStep(tm) tech..

DRAM Frequency  
If [Auto] is selected, the motherboard will detect the memory module(s)  
inserted and assigns appropriate frequency automatically. You may also  
select other value as operating frequency: [200MHz (DDRII 400)], [266MHz  
(DDRII 533)], [333MHz (DDRII 667)]. The configuration options may change  
according to the corresponding FSB frequency of the CPU you adopt.  
Flexibility Option  
The default value of this option is [Disabled]. It will allow better tolerance for  
memory compatibility when it is set to [Enabled].  
Configure DRAM Timing by SPD  
Select [Enabled] will configure the following items by the contents in the  
SPD (Serial Presence Detect) device. If you select [Disabled], you will find  
the items “DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay”, “DRAM RAS# Precharge”, and  
“DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge” appear to allow you adjusting them.  
DRAM CAS# Latency  
Use this item to adjust the means of memory accessing. Configuration  
options: [2 DRAM Clocks], [3 DRAM Clocks], [4 DRAM Clocks], [5 DRAM  
Clocks], and [6 DRAM Clocks].  
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay  
This controls the latency between the DRAM active command and the  
read / write command. Configuration options: [2 DRAM Clocks], [3 DRAM  
Clocks], [4 DRAM Clocks], [5 DRAM Clocks], and [6 DRAM Clocks].  
2 9  
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], and [6 DRAM Clocks].  
DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge  
This controls the number of DRAM clocks for TRAS. Configuration options:  
[4 DRAM Clocks], [5 DRAM Clocks], [6 DRAM Clocks], [7 DRAM Clocks], [8  
DRAM Clocks], [9 DRAM Clocks], [10 DRAM Clocks], [11 DRAM Clocks], [12  
DRAM Clocks], [13 DRAM Clocks], [14 DRAM Clocks], and [15 DRAM  
Clocks].  
Primary Graphics Adapter  
This item shows the primary graphics adapter. The default value is [PCI].  
Configuration options: [Onboard], [PCI] and [PCI Express].  
Internal Graphics Mode Select  
If you select [Auto], the onboard VGA will be automatically disabled when  
you install VGA card; the onboard VGA will be enabled without the installa-  
tion of any add-on VGA card. If you select [Enabled, 8MB] or [Enabled,  
1MB], the onboard VGA will be enabled.  
DVMT Mode Select  
Use this option to adjust DVMT mode. Configuration options: [Fixed Mode],  
[DVMT Mode] and [Fixed+DVMT Mode]. The default value is [DVMT Mode].  
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.  
DVMT/FIXED Memory  
You are allowed to adjust the shared memory size in this item if you set  
DVMT Mode Select as [DVMT Mode]. Configuration options: [64MB], [128MB]  
and [Maximum DVMT].  
OnBoard HD Audio

use this motherboard to submit Windows® VistaTM logo test, please disable  
this option.  
OnBoard Lan  
This allows you to enable or disable the “OnBoard Lan” feature.  
PCI Fix Function  
This allows you to enable or disable PCI Fix Function. The default value is  
[Enabled]. If this item is set to [Enabled], PCI frequency can be fixed at  
33.3 MHz. If this item is set to [Disabled], PCI clock can be synchronized to  
PCIE clock.  
VCCM Voltage  
Use this to select VCCM Voltage. Configuration options: [High], [Normal],  
[Low], and [Auto]. The default value of this feature is [Auto].  
VDDQ Voltage  
Configuration options: [High], [Low] and [Auto]. The default value is [Auto].

CPU Quiet Fan  
This item allows you to identify the temperature of CPU fan. If you set this  
option as [Disabled], the CPU fan will operate in full speed. If you set this  
option as [Enabled], you will find the items “Target CPU Temperature  
(
C)”, “Tolerance ( C)”, and “Minimun Fan Speed” appear to allow you  
adjusting them. The default value is [Disabled]. You are allowed to enable  
this function only when you install 4-pin CPU fan.  
Target CPU Temperature ( C)  
The target temperature will be between 45 C and 65 C. The default  
value is [50].  
Tolerance ( C)  
The default value of tolerance is [2], which means the error of the  
target CPU temperature will be within 2 C.  
Target Fan Speed  
Use this option to set the target fan speed. You can freely adjust the  
target fan speed according to the target CPU temperature that you  
choose. The default value is [Fast]. Configuration options: [Fast], [Middle]  
and [Slow].
