9. Featuring an advanced proprietary hardware and software design,

Intelligent Energy Saver is a revolutionary technology that delivers

unparalleled power savings. The voltage regulator can reduce the

number of output phases to improve efficiency when the CPU cores are

idle. In other words, it is able to provide exceptional power saving and

improve power efficiency without sacrificing computing performance.

To use Intelligent Energy Saver function, please enable Cool ‘n’ Quiet

option in the BIOS setup in advance. Please visit our website for the

operation procedures of Intelligent Energy Saver.

10. ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS flash utility embedded in Flash ROM.

BIOS setup menu to access ASRock Instant Flash. Just launch this tool

and save the new BIOS file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Please

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. This motherboard supports ASRock AM2 Boost overclocking technology for

AM2 CPU. If you enable this function in the BIOS setup, the memory perfor-

mance will improve up to 12.5%, but the effect still depends on the AM2 CPU

you adopt. Enabling this function will overclock the chipset/CPU reference

clock. However, we can not guarantee the system stability for all CPU/DRAM

configurations. If your system is unstable after AM2 Boost function is enabled,

it may not be applicative to your system. You may choose to disable this

function for keeping the stability of your system.
