All fan headers on this motherboard are 4—pin. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design.
When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire
is the ground wire). The speed control function requires the use of a fan with fan speed control design.
For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.
•Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from
overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.

•When the system is not stable as usual, select the Load Optimized Defaults item to set your system to its
defaults.
•The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version.
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,
saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows
theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to
keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.
To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q—Flash or @BIOS utility.
•Q—Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating
system.
•@BIOS is a Windows—based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the
Internet and updates the BIOS.

•It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability
or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system‘s failure to boot. If this
occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. (Refer to the «Load Optimized
