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 the third-
party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system 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. ASRock UCC (Unlock CPU Core) feature simplifies AMD CPU activation. As
long as a simple switch of the BIOS option “ASRock UCC”, you can unlock the
extra CPU core to enjoy an instant performance boost. When UCC feature is
enabled, the dual-core or triple-core CPU will boost to the quad-core CPU, and
some CPU, including quad-core CPU, can also increase L3 cache size up to
6MB, which means you can enjoy the upgrade CPU performance with a better
price. Please be noted that UCC feature is supported with AM3 CPU only, and
in addition, not every AM3 CPU can support this function because some
CPU’s hidden core may be malfunctioned.
2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read “Un-
tied Overclocking Technology” on page 43 for details.
3. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you
implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the
installation guide of memory modules on page 17 for proper installation.
4. Whether 1866/1800/1600MHz memory speed is supported depends on the
AM3 CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3 1866/1800/1600 memory
module on this motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our
website for the compatible memory modules.
ASRock website http://www.asrock.com
5. 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.
6. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes.
For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel,
and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 13 for proper connection.

ing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Please
be noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 file
system.
10. The software name itself – OC DNA literally tells you what it is capable of.
OC DNA, an exclusive utility developed by ASRock, provides a conve-
nient way for the user to record the OC settings and share with others. It
helps you to save your overclocking record under the operating system
and simplifies the complicated recording process of overclocking settings.
With OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a profile and share with
your friends! Your friends then can load the OC profile to their own system
to get the same OC settings as yours! Please be noticed that the OC
profile can only be shared and worked on the same motherboard.

ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com/Feature/AppCharger/index.asp
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. EuP, stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by
European Union to define the power consumption for the completed system.
According to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system shall be
under 1.00W in off mode condition. To meet EuP standard, an EuP ready
motherboard and an EuP ready power supply are required. According to
Intel’s suggestion, the EuP ready power supply must meet the standard of
5v standby power efficiency is higher than 50% under 100 mA current

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90
o angle.
Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that the CPU corner with
the golden triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle.
Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU
into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.
Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push
down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab
to indicate that it is locked.
After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a

The Bootblock initialization code sets up the chipset, memory and other
components before system memory is available. The following table describes the
type of checkpoints that may occur during the bootblock initialization portion of the
BIOS:
Checkpoint Description
Before D1 Early chipset initialization is done. Early super I/O initialization is done
including RTC and keyboard controller. NMI is disabled.
D1 Perform keyboard controller BAT test. Check if waking up from power
management suspend state. Save power-on CPUID value in scratch
CMOS.
D0 Go to flat mode with 4GB limit and GA20 enabled. Verify the bootblock
checksum.
D2 Disable CACHE before memory detection. Execute full memory sizing
module. Verify that flat mode is enabled.
D3 If memory sizing module not executed, start memory refresh and do
memory sizing in Bootblock code. Do additional chipset initialization.
Re-enable CACHE. Verify that flat mode is enabled.
D4 Test base 512KB memory. Adjust policies and cache first 8MB. Set stack.
D5 Bootblock code is copied from ROM to lower system memory and control
is given to it. BIOS now executes out of RAM.
D6 Both key sequence and OEM specific method is checked to determine if
BIOS recovery is forced. Main BIOS checksum is tested. If BIOS recovery
is necessary, control flows to checkpoint E0.
D7 Restore CPUID value back into register. The Bootblock-Runtime interface
module is moved to system memory and control is given to it. Determine
whether to execute serial flash.
D8 The Runtime module is uncompressed into memory. CPUID information is
stored in memory.
D9 Store the Uncompressed pointer for future use in PMM. Copying Main BIOS
into memory. Leaves all RAM below 1MB Read-Write including E000 and
F000 shadow areas but closing SMRAM.
DA Restore CPUID value back into register. Give control to BIOS POST
(ExecutePOSTKernel).
The POST code checkpoints are the largest set of checkpoints during the BIOS
pre-boot process. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may
occur during the POST portion of the BIOS:
Checkpoint Description
03 Disable NMI, Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers. Initialize BIOS,
POST, Runtime data area. Also initialize BIOS modules on POST entry and
GPNV area. Initialized CMOS as mentioned in the Kernel Variable
“wCMOSFlags.”
04 Check CMOS diagnostic byte to determine if battery power is OK and
CMOS checksum is OK. Verify CMOS checksum manually by reading

This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SATA3 in RAID /
AHCI mode. AMD SB850 / Marvell SE9123/9120 chipset provides hardware support
for Advanced Host controller Interface (AHCI), a new programming interface for
SATA host controllers developed thru a joint industry effort.
NOTE
What is Hot Plug Function?
If the SATA3 HDDs are NOT set for RAID configuration, it is called “Hot
Plug” for the action to insert and remove the SATA3 HDDs while the
system is still power-on and in working condition.
However, please note that it cannot perform Hot Plug if the OS has been
installed into the SATA3 HDD.
What is Hot Swap Function?
If SATA3 HDDs are built as RAID 1 or RAID 5 then it is called “Hot Swap”
for the action to insert and remove the SATA3 HDDs while the system is
still power-on and in working condition.
This motherboard adopts AMD SB850 / Marvell SE9123/9120 chipset that supports
Serial ATA3 (SATA3) hard disks. You may install SATA3 hard disks on this
motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the
SATA3 hard disks.
STEP 1: Install the SATA3 hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA3 hard disk.
STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATA3
connector.
STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA3 hard disk.
Caution
1. Without SATA 15-pin power connector interface, the SATA3 Hot Plug cannot be
processed.
2. Even some SATA3 HDDs provide both SATA 15-pin power connector and IDE
1x4-pin conventional power connector interfaces, the IDE 1x4-pin conventional
power connector interface is definitely not able to support Hot Plug and will
cause the HDD damage and data loss.
