For power-saving's sake, it is strongly recommended to enable AMD's Cool `n' QuietTM technology under Windows system. See APPENDIX on page 41 to enable AMD's Cool `n' QuietTM technology. Since not all K8 939-pin CPU can support AMD's Cool `n' QuietTM technology, please check AMD's website for details. 2. 3. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read "Untied Overclocking Technology" on page 23 for details. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before you implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the installation guide of memory modules on page 13 for proper installation. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU. 5. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the 6. CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 10 for proper connection. 7. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the "SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide" on page 20 to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. Besides, you are allowed to downgrade the SATAII hard disk to SATA hard disk (from SATAII 3Gb/s down to SATA 1.5Gb/s), and connect it to the SATAII connector. You can also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly. 8. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows ® XP SP1 / 2000 SP4. 4. 8 1.3 Motherboard Layout 1 2 3 4 5 22.4cm (8.8-in) 6 7 1 FSB1GHz ATX12V1 Dual Channel Dual core CPU PS2 Mouse PS2_USB_PW1 939NF4G-SATA2 DDR400 DDR2 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) DDR1 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) DDR3 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) DDR4 (64/72 bit, 184-pin module) FSB800 FSB800 32 USB 2.0 T: USB0 B: USB1 Top: RJ-45 COM1 ATXPWR1 31 30 nVidia GeForce 6100 Chipset CPU_FAN1 ATA133 EXPRESS ` CD1 29 LAN PHY PCIE1 24.4cm (9.6-in) SATAII_2 SATAII_1 SPEAKER1 PLED PWRBTN Super I/O PS2 Keyboard PARALLEL PORT 1 Top: REAR SPK Center: SIDE SPK Center: FRONT Top: LINE IN AUDIO CODEC IDE2 VGA1 Bottom: CTR BASS Bottom: MIC IN SOCKET 939 8 USB 2.0 T: USB2 B: USB3 IDE1 PCI 9 PCI 1 USB2.0 CMOS BATTERY nVidia nForce 410 MCP Chipset 10 11 12 13 14 15 PCI 2 CLRCMOS1 1 28 27 PCIE2 JR1 JL1 AUDIO1 1 7.1CH GAME1 SATAII FLOPPY1 1 IR1 1 USB45 1 USB67 1 AMR1 PANEL 1 HDLED RESET 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 PS2_USB_PW1 Jumper 16 ATX 12V Power Connector (ATX12V1) 17 North Bridge Controller 18 CPU Heatsink Retention Module 19 939-Pin CPU Socket 20 2 x 184-pin DDR DIMM Slots 21 (Dual Channel A: DDR1, DDR2; Blue) 22 2 x 184-pin DDR DIMM Slots 23 (Dual Channel B: DDR3, DDR4; Black) 24 Secondary IDE Connector (IDE2, Black) 25 Primary IDE Connector (IDE1, Blue) 26 CPU Fan Connector (CPU_FAN1) 27 South Bridge Controller 28 Secon ...
