Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting

the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using third-party

overclocking tools. Overclocking may aect your system’s stability, or even cause damage to

the components and devices of your system. It should be done at your own risk and expense.

We are not responsible for possible damage caused by overclocking.

is is an EATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard,

study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard

components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries and damages to motherboard

components.

In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,

NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded

wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.

Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or

in the bag that comes with the components.

When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-

tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation

X99 OC Formula

2.1 Installing the CPU

CAUTION:

Please note that X99 platform is only compatible with the LGA 2011-3 socket, which is

incompatible with the LGA 2011 socket (for X79 platform).

1. Before you insert the -Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the is on 2011-3 PnP cap

the socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any in the socket. Do bent pins

not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU

will be seriously damaged .

2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

English

Please save and replace the cover if the processor is removed. e cover must be placed if

you wish to return the motherboard for aer service.

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

is motherboard provides eight 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots, and

supports Quad Channel Memory Technology.

DDR4_D2 Populated

Due to Intel® CPU spec denition, please install the memory modules on DDR4_A1,

DDR4_B1, DDR4_C1 and DDR4_D1 for rst priority. If the four DDR4 DIMM slots

above are fully installed, and you want to use more than four memory modules, please

install the other memory modules from le to right (from DDR4_A2, DDR4_B2,

DDR4_D2 to DDR4_C2.)

If only two memory modules are installed in the DDR4 DIMM slots, then Dual

Channel Memory Technology is activated. If three memory modules are installed, then

Triple Channel Memory Technology is activated. If more than four memory modules

are installed in the DDR4 DIMM slots, then Quad Channel Memory Technology is

activated.

1. For quad channel conguration, you always need to install identical (the same brand,

speed, size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

2. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 slot;

otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

3. e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the

motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere are 5 PCI Express slots and 1 mini-PCI Express slot on the motherboard.

mini-PCIe slots:

MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot) is used for WiFi module.

PCIe slots:

PCIE1 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.

PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express p25-x8 lane width graphics cards.

PCIE3 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x8 lane width cards, such as

underbolt™ add-in card.

PCIE4 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.

PCIE5 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x8 lane width graphics cards.

Before installing an expansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched o

or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the documentation of the expansion card and

make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

2.5 Jumpers Setup

e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper

is “Open”. e illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”

when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.7, No. 40)

CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system

parameters to default setup, please turn o the computer and unplug the power

cord from the power supply. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to

short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear

the CMOS right aer you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when

you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut

it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password,

date, time, and user default prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is

removed.

e Clear CMOS Switch has the same function as the Clear CMOS jumper.

is motherboard has two BIOS chips, a primary BIOS (BIOS_A) and a backup BIOS (BIOS_

B), which enhances the safety and stability of your system. Normally, the system will work

on the primary BIOS. However, if the primary BIOS is corrupted or damaged, just ip the

BIOS Selection Switch to “B”, then the backup BIOS will take over on the next system boot.

Aer that, use “Secure Backup UEFI” in the UEFI Setup Utility to duplicate a working copy

of the BIOS les to the primary BIOS to ensure normal system operation. For safety issues,

users are not able to update the backup BIOS manually. Users may refer to the BIOS LEDs

(BIOS_A_LED or BIOS_B_LED) to identify which BIOS is currently activated.

1. Make sure that you power o the system before changing the switch.

2. When you turn o PCIe ON/OFF switch, your PCIE card could be burnt if it was poorly

designed. For more information about your card’s specications please contact the card’s

vendor.

3. PCIe ON/OFF switch is for debug only. If you do not want to use your PCIE card, please

remove it from the motherboard.

and versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. e Ultra M.2

Socket (ULTRA_M2) can accommodate a M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 p51-x4 (32 Gb/s).

e M.2_SSD(NGFF) Socket 3 (M2_1) can accommodate either a M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s

module or a M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen 2 p51-x4 (20 Gb/s).

Please be noted that the M.2 Socket (M2_1) is shared with the S_SATA3_3 connector.

If you install a M.2 SATA module to the M.2 Socket (M2_1), the internal S_SATA3_3

will not function. If you install a M.2 PCI Express module to the M.2 Socket (M2_1), the

internal S_SATA3_3 will still function.

* If Ultra M.2 PCI Express module is installed, PCIE3 slot will be disabled.

* When you overclock the BCLK frequency, it is recommended that you install the M.2 PCI

Express module to the M.2 Socket (M2_1).
