Notes:
(1) How to install? Click here.
(2) All retail boxed motherboards are opened for receiving purposes.
(3) We highly recommendtesting when purchasing a motherboard and a CPU together.
(4) Only compatible with AM3 Phenom II processors, not AM2+ Phenom II processors. Please refer "CPU support list" for detail information.
(5) DDR3 1666+ is supported with combination of AM3 processors and qualified memory modules, please refer "Memory Support List" for detail memory support information.
(6) (Note 1) Due to Windows Vista/XP 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.
(7) (Note 2) A JM322 chip supports two SATA 3Gb/s connectors, so the four SATA 3Gb/s connectors are divided into two pairs: GSATA2_0 and GSATA2_1 as one pair and GSATA2_2, GSATA2_3 as another pair. (Refer to Chapter 2, "Integrated Peripherals" and Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s), " for how to enable the Smart Backup function.)
(8) (Note 3) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/ system cooler you install.
(9) (Note 4) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
