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. FSB1600-CPU will operate in overclocking mode. If you use a FSB1600CPU on this motherboard, you need to adjust the jumpers. Please refer to page 21 for proper jumper settings. Besides, if you want to change a new CPU on this motherboard, please remove the AC power cord from your PC in advance. About the setting of "Hyper Threading Technology", please check page 47 of "User Manual" in the support CD. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Untied Overclocking Technology" on page 35 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. Please check the table below for the CPU FSB frequency and its corresponding memory support frequency.
