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) Because of chipset limitations, to avoid the system being unable to start or the memory being incorrectly detected, if only one memory module is to be installed, we suggest that you install it on the DDR2_1 or DDR2_3 socket; to install two memory modules, we suggest that you install them on the DDR2_1 and DDR2_3 sockets. (Please refer "Memory Support List" for more information.)

(Note 3) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system cooler you install.

(Note 4) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.

Please do not forget to check with our site as often as possible in order to stay updated on the latest drivers, software and games.

Note: Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. It will help you restore system if installed driver not complete.
