Note
  1. The PCIEX8_1 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16_1 slot and the PCIEX8_2 slot with PCIEX16_2. The PCIEX16_1/PCIEX16_2 slot will operate at up to x8 mode when the PCIEX8_1/ PCIEX8_2 is populated.
  2. The default bandwidth for the PCIEX4_2 slot is x1. When it is configured to x4 mode, the onboard GSATA2_6, GSATA2_7, and IDE connectors will become unavailable because they share bandwidth with the PCIEX4_2 slot. (Refer to Chapter 2, “Integrated Peripherals” in manual for how to change the operating bandwidth for the PCIEX4_2 slot.)
  3. Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
  4. Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system cooler you install.
  5. 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.
Remark
  1. Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
  2. Due to most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win9X/ME. If some vendors still has Win9X/ME drivers available, we will publish on website.
