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 enable 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio
module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver.
(Note 3) For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to
be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.
(Note 4) When the PCIEX1_2 slot is populated with an expansion card, the
PCIEX4_X1 slot will operate at up to x1 mode.
(Note 5) The PCIEX16 slot operates at up to x4 mode when ATI CrossFireX is
enabled.
(Note 6) Two share the same ports with USB 3.0.
(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.
