Notes

Note 1. Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.

Note 2. To support a DDR3 1866 MHz (and above) memory, you must install an AMD AM3 CPU first.

Note 3. For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot; if you are installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you install them in the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots.

Note 4. Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system cooler you install.

Note 5. Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
