WARNING
Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking,
including adjusting the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking
Technology, or using third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may
affect your system’s 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. Intel® Small Business Advantage is a customizable platform integrated with IT tools, which helps maximize employee productivity, PC performance, and data security. There are applications
including Software Monitor, PC Health Center, Data Backup &
Restore, Energy Saver and USB Blocker.
2. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size
may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage
under Windows® 7 / VistaTM / XP. For Windows® OS with 64-bit
CPU, there is no such limitation. You can use ASRock XFast
RAM to utilize the memory that Windows® cannot use.
3. ASRock XFast RAM is not supported by Microsoft® Windows®
XP / XP 64-bit. Intel® Smart Connect Technology and Intel® USB
3.0 ports are not supported by Microsoft® Windows® VistaTM /
VistaTM 64-bit / XP / XP

the major readings of your system. In Fan Control, it shows the
fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In Overclocking,
you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal system
performance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as
a profile and share it with your friends. Your friends then can
load the OC profile to their own system to get the same OC settings. In IES (Intelligent Energy Saver), the voltage regulator
can reduce the number of output phases to improve efficiency
when the CPU cores are idle without sacrificing computing performance. In XFast RAM, it fully utilizes the memory space that
cannot be used under Windows® OS 32-bit CPU.
