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) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
(Note 3) You can use only one of the onboard digital graphics ports (HDMI and DVI-D) for output when in BIOS Setup program or when during the POST screens.
(Note 4) To configure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable themulti-channel audio feature through the audio driver.
(Note5) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system cooler you install.
(Note 6) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.
