We dont recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPUs specification because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets, Memory, Cards…etc. * HT functionality requirement content : Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires all of the following platform components: - CPU: An Intel® Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology - Chipset: An Intel® Chipset that supports HT Technology - BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled - OS: An operation system that has optimizations for HT Technology

Hardware Installation ProcessEnglish- 11 - To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 2- Install memory modules Step 3- Install expansion cards Step 4- Install I/O Peripherals CablesChapter 2 Hardware Installation ProcessCongratulations! You have accomplished the hardware installation! Turn on the power supply or connect the power cable to the power outlet. Continue with the BIOS/software installation.Step 2Step 1Step 3Step 4Step 4Step 4
- 12 - GA-8KNXP Ultra-64 MotherboardEnglishStep 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 1-1: CPU InstallationAngling the rod to 650 1.Angling the rod to 65-degree maybe feel a kind of tight , and then continue pull the rod to 90-degree when a noise cough made.2. Pull the rod to the 90-degree directly.Pin1 indicator 3. CPU Top ViewPin1 indicator 4.Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU upper corner. Then insert the CPU into the socket. Socket Actuation LeverBefore installing the processor, adhere to the following warning: 1.Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard. 2.If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
Hardware Installation ProcessEnglish- 13 - Step 1-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation1.Fasten the cooling fan supporting- base onto the CPU socket on the motherboard. Before installing the CPU cooling fan, adhere to the following warning: 1.Please use Intel approved cooling fan. 2.We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and cooling fan. (The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cool- ing fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.) 3.Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this completes the installation. Please refer to CPU cooling fan users manual for more detail installation procedure.2.Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the CPU fan connector, than install complete.
- 14 - GA-8KNXP Ultra-64 MotherboardEnglishBefore installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning: 1.When RAM_LED is ON, do not install / remove DIMM from socket. 2.Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.1.The DIMM socket has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. 2.Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM socket. Then push it down. 3.Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM sockets to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.Step 2: Install Memory Modules The motherboard has 6 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between sockets.DDRNotch
Hardware Installation ProcessEnglish- 15 - Below are the explanations: 1.One, three, or five DDR memory modules are installed: The Dual Channel Technology will not operate when one, three, or five DDR memory modules are installed and they will only work as Single Channel. 2.Two DDR memory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual Channel Technology will operate when two DDR memory modules are inserted indi- vidually into Channel A and Channel B (DIMM 1 pairs up with DIMM 4, DIMM 2, 5 and DIMM 3, 6). However, if the two DDR memory modules are inserted into the same Channel (DIMM 1,2,3 or DIMM 4,5,6) then Dual Channel Technology will not operate. 3.Three or five DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel Technology will not operate when three or five DDR memory modules are installed; part of them will not be detected. 4.If four DDR memory modules are installed (two pairs of DDR memory modules with the same memory size and type): The Dual Channel Technology will operate when a pair of DDR memory modules are inserted into DIMM1, 4 and another pair into DIMM 2,5.Dual Channel DDR: GA-8KNXP Ultra-64 supports Dual Channel Technology. When Dual Channel Technology is activated, the bandwidth of memory bus will be double the original one,with the fastest speed at 6.4GB/s DDR400. GA-8KNXP Ultra-64 includes six DIMM slots, and each Channel has 3 DIMMs as following:Channel A : DIMM 1, 2, 3Channel B : DIMM 4, 5, 6 DDR Introduction Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs, and system integrators. DDR memory is a great evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing SDRAM architecture, yet make the awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by doubling the memory bandwidth. Nowadays, with the highest bandwidth of 3.2GB/s of DDR400 memory and complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR memory is the best choice for building high performance and low latency DRAM subsystem that are suitable for servers, workstations, and full range of desktop PCs.
