While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the  
power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety  
of CPU.  
Overclocking  
This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make  
sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while  
doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is  
not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks caused  
by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.

CPU & Cooler Installation  
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on  
the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal  
paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.  
Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will  
cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.  
1. The CPU socket has a plastic cap on  
it to protect the contact from damage.  
Before you install the CPU, always  
cover it to protect the socket pin.  
2. Remove the cap from lever hinge  
side (as the arrow shows).  
3. The pins of socket reveal.  
4. Open the load lever.  
Important  
1. Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.  
2. Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.  
3. The availability of the CPU land side cover depends on your CPU packing.

Configure DRAM Timing by SPD  
Setting to [Enabled] enables DRAM CAS# Latency automatically to be determined  
by BIOS based on the configurations on the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) EEPROM  
on the DRAM module.  
CAS Latency(CL)  
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field is  
adjustable.This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in  
clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it.  
tRCD  
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field is  
adjustable. When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed  
separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition  
from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the  
clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance.  
tRP  
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], this field is  
adjustable. This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe  
(RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to  
accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and  
DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is  
installed in the system.  
tRAS  
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], this setting  
determines the time RAS takes to read from and write to a memory cell.  
tRTP  
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], this setting  
controls the time interval between a read and a precharge command.  
tRFC  
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field is  
adjustable. The row cycle time determines the minimum number of clock cycles  
a memory row takes to complete a full cycle, from row activation up to the  
precharging of the active row.

BIOS Setup  
tWR  
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field is  
adjustable. It specifies the amount of delay (in clock cycles) that must elapse  
after the completion of a valid write operation, before an active bank can be  
precharged. This delay is required to guarantee that data in the write buffers  
can be written to the memory cells before precharge occurs.  
tRRD  
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field is  
adjustable. Specifies the active-to-active delay of different banks.  
tWTR  
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field is  
adjustable. This item controls the Write Data In to Read Command Delay memory  
timing. This constitutes the minimum number of clock cycles that must occur  
between the last valid write operation and the next read command to the same  
internal bank of the DDR device.  
FSB/Memory Ratio  
This item will allow you to adjust the FSB/Ratio of the memory.  
Adjusted DRAM Frequency (MHz)  
It shows the adjusted DDR Memory frequency. Read-only.  
Adjust PCI-E Frequency (MHz)  
This field allows you to select the PCIE frequency (in MHz).  
Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Frequency  
When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and  
PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Spread Spectrum  
When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the  
pulses create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function  
reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses  
are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at  
Disabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,  
set to Enabled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are  
overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock  
speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

Important  
1. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for  
optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,  
select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.  
2. The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced,  
and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread  
Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.  
3. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because  
even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which  
may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

DOT (Dynamic OverClocking)  
Dynamic Overclocking Technology is an automatic overclocking function, included in  
the MSITM’s newly developed Dual CoreCenter Technology. It is designed to detect the  
loading of CPU/ GPU while running programs, and to over-clock automatically. When  
the motherboard detects that the loading of CPU is exceed the default threshold for a  
time, it will speed up the CPU and fan automatically to make the system run smoother  
and faster. When the graphics card detects that the loading of GPU is exceed the  
default threshold for a time, it will speed up the GPU, memory, fan and voltage  
automatically to make the system run smoother and faster. When the CPU/ GPU is  
temporarily suspending or staying in low loading balance, it will restore the default  
settings instead. Usually the Dynamic Overclocking Technology will be powered only  
when users' PC runs huge amount of data, like 3D games or video process, and the  
motherboard/ graphicd card need to be boosted up to enhance the overall performance.  
There will be several selections when you click the DOT rate button (include increase  
rate  
and decrease  
rate buttons), to select the DOT level, then you have to

Important  
Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable than  
manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user to make  
sure that your CPU can afford to overclock regularly first. If you find the PC  
appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's better to lower the level of  
overclocking options. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking  
manually, please do not to apply the DOT function.
