Note:

1. A 5.1/7.1 surround cable (optional) needs to be installed if you wish to enable 7.1-channel audio output.

2. Based on standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and therefore the actual

Memory size is less than the stated amount. For example, 4 Gb of memory size will instead be shown as 3.xx Gb during

system startup.

3. Use of a 1066/800 MHz FSB CPU is required if you wish to install DDRII 667 MHz memory.

4. This function is only supported on 4-pin CPU fans.

5. Available functions in Easytune may differ by motherboard model.
