(Note 2) To reach DDR3 1866 MHz or above, you must install two memory modules and install them in the DDR3_3 and DDR3_4 memory sockets. (Note 3) For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot. The PCIEX8 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16 slot. When PCIEX8 is populated with a PCI Express graphics card, the PCIEX16 slot will operate at up to x8 mode. (Note 4) Two share the same ports with USB 3.0 (Note 5) 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. Remark Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website. Most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win9X/ME. If drivers are available from the vendors, we will update them on the GIGABYTE website.Note: In order to enable X6 Phenom support (providing the board is capable of this) your motherboard may need a BIOS upgrade. Please check the relevant vendor website for these updates before installation.
