| Note |
(Note 1) We recommend that you enhance heat dissipation for the CPU VRM area if an AMD Black Edition CPU is installed and Advanced Clock Calibration is enabled.
(Note 2) Due to Windows Vista/XP 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 3) Whether 1066 MHz or above memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used.
(Note 4) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
(Note 5) Simultaneous output for DVI-D and HDMI is not supported.
(Note 6) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system cooler you install.
(Note 7) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
(Note 8) Due to the hardware limitation, you must install the AMD AM3 PhenomTM II/AM2+ PhenomTM Series CPU to enable support for Easy Energy Saver. |
