  • Note
    Note
    (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 reach DDR3 1866 MHz or above, you must install two memory modules and install them in the DDR3_3 and DDR3_4 memory sockets.
    (Note 3) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
    (Note 4) Simultaneous output for DVI-D and HDMI is not supported.
    (Note 5) For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.
    (Note 6) The PCIEX1_1 and PCIEX1_2 slots share bandwidth with the PCIEX4 slot. When the PCIEX4 slot is populated with a x4 expansion card, the PCIEX1_1 and PCIEX1_2 slots become unavailable. If the PCIEX1_1 slot or the PCIEX1_2 slot has been populated first, the PCIEX4 slot will operate at up to x1.
    (Note 7) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system cooler you install.
    (Note 8) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
