Motherboard Manual Ga-8ig1000mk Rev1 X e

When you installing AGP card, please make sure the following notice
is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has "AGP 4X/8X
(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP card is AGP
4X/8X (1.5V).
Caution: AGP 2X card is not supported by Intel
845(GE/PE) / 845(E/G) /
850(E) / E7205 / 865(G/PE/P) / 875P. You might experience system
unable to boot up normally. Please insert an AGP 4X/8X card.
Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X
mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or 4X(1.5V) mode
by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is 2X(3.3V).
The GA-8IG1000MK (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards might not
function properly, if you install this card without switching the jumper to
4X(1.5V) mode in it.
Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by "Power Color",
the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their golden finger is
compatible with 2X(3.3V)/4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but they support 2X(3.3V)
only. The GA-8IG1000MK (or any AGP 4X/8X only) motherboards might not
function properly, If you install this card in it.
Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on ATi Rage
128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance with AGP 4X(1.5V)
specification. Therefore, AG32S(G) will work fine with Intel
845(GE/PE) /
845(E/G) / 850(E) / E7205 / 865(G/PE/P) / 875P based motherboards.

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one,
touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power
supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other
components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components
whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power
connector on the motherboard.
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there
are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the
mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so
be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying
about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the
motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the
screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it
may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Features Summary
Due to chipset (Intel 865G) architecture limitation, DDR 400 memory module is only supported
when using FSB 800 Pentium 4 processor. A FSB 533 Pentium 4 processor will support
DDR333 and DDR266 memory module. A FSB 400 Pentium 4 processor will only support
DDR 266 memory module.
(Note 1) Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage
and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount. For example, 4 GB of
memory size will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory during system startup.

Step 1-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation
1. 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 user's manual for more detail
installation procedure.
2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged
to the CPU fan connector, than
install complete.

Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning:
1. When DIMM 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.
Step 2: Install Memory Modules
The motherboard has 4 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.
DDR
Notch
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.

Below are the explanations:
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations
due to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
1. Onl y one DDR memory modul e i s i nstal l ed: The Dual Channel Technol ogy can' t
operate when only one DDR memory module is installed. Additionally, you can boot the
system only when the memory module is inserted into Channel A. On the other hand,
the memory module must be inserted into DIMM1 or DIMM3 sockets.
2. Two DDR memory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual
Channel Technology will operate when two memory modules are inserted individually
into Channel A and B. If you install two memory modules in the same channel, the Dual
Channel Technology will not operate. Additionally, you can boot the system only when
one of the memory modules is inserted into Channel A. On the other hand, the memory
module must be inserted into DIMM1 or DIMM3 sockets.
3. Three DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel Technol-
ogy will not operate when three DDR memory modules are installed; part of them will
not be detected.
4. Four DDR memory modules are installed: If you install four memory modules at the
same time, the Dual Channel Technology will operate only when those modules have
the same memory size and type.
Dual Channel DDR:
GA-8IG1000MK 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-8IG1000MK includes four DIMM slots, and each Channel has 2 DIMMs as following:
Channel A : DIMM 1, 2
Channel B : DIMM 3, 4
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.

Introduction
Gigabyte announces @BIOS
Windows BIOS live update utility

Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like
many other people, you just know what BIOS is,
but always hesitate to update it? Because you think
updating newest BIOS is unnecessary and actually
you don't know how to update it.
Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of time
to do it. But of course you dont like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from website and
then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to update BIOS.
The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the BIOS source code
correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.
Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save your
time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it comes! Now Gigabyte
announces @BIOSthe first Windows BIOS live update utility. This is a smart BIOS update software.
It could help you to download the BIOS from internetand update it. Not like the other BIOS update
software, it's a Windows utility. With the help of "@BIOS", BIOS updating is no more than a click.
Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if its a Gigabyte's product*, @BIOS help you
to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard model and help you to choose the
BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site automatically. There
are several different choices; you could use "Internet Update" to download and update your BIOS
directly. Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just choose "Save Current BIOS"
to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and @BIOS update your BIOS smartly. You
are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and capable to maintain and manage your BIOS
easily. Again, Gigabyte's innovative product erects a milestone in mainboard industries.
For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It's free! Now, if you buy a
Gigabyte's motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But please
remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update from your
Gigabyte @BIOS.

EasyTune
4 Introduction
Gigabyte announces EasyTune

4
Windows based Overclocking utility
EasyTune 4 carries on the heritage so as to pave the way for future generations.
Overclock might be one of the most common issues
in computer field. But have many users ever tried it?
The answer is probably "no". Because "Overclock"
is thought to be very difficult and includes a lot of
technical know-how, sometimes "Overclock" is
even considered as special skills found only in some
enthusiasts. But as to the experts in "Overclock",
what's the truth? They may spend quite a lot of time
and money to study, try and use many different
hardware or BIOS tools to do "Overclock". And even with these technologies, they still learn that it's
quite a risk because the safety and stability of an "Overclock" system is unknown. Now everything
is different because of a Windows based overclocking utility "EasyTune 4" --announced by Gigabyte.
This windows based utility has totally changed the gaming rule of "Overclock". This is the first
windows based overclocking utility is suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose
either "Easy Mode" or "Advanced Mode" for overclocking at their convenience. For users who
choose "Easy Mode", they just need to click "Auto Optimize" to have autoed and immediate CPU
overclocking. This software will then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown
in the control panel. If users prefer "Overclock" by them, there is also another choice. Click "Advanced
Mode" to enjoy "sport drive" class Overclocking user interface. "Advanced Mode", allows users to
change the system bus / AGP / Memory working frequency in small increments to get ultimate system
performance. It operates in coordination with Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other
traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTune 4 doesn't require users to change neither BIOS nor
hardware switch/ jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do "Overclock" at easy step . Therefore,
this is a safer way for "Overclock" as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs
EasyTune 4 over system's limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the computer again and the side
effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed has been tested in
EasyTune 4, user can "Save" this setting and "Load" it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune
4 has already turned the "Overclock" technology toward to a newer generation. This wonderful
software is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached in driver CD. Users may make a test
drive of "EasyTune 4" to find out more amazing features by themselves.
*Some Gigabyte products are not fully supported by EasyTune 4. Please find the products supported
list in the web site.
*Any "Overclocking action" is at user's risk, Gigabyte Technology will not be responsible for any
damage or instability to your processor, motherboard, or any other components.

FAQ
Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a
specific motherboard model, please log on to http://tw.giga-byte.com/faq/faq.htm
Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS.
Why?
Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys
after entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options.
Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down?
Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts
down and that's why the light is still on.
Question 3: How do I clear CMOS?
Answer: If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, please refer to the Clear CMOS steps in the
manual. If your board doesn't have such jumper, you can take off the on-board battery to leak
voltage to clear CMOS. Please refer to the steps below:
Steps:
1. Turn off power.
2. Disconnect the power cord from MB.
3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes (Or you can use a metal
object to connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to makethem short
for one minute).
4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder.
5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power.
6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults.
7. Save changes and reboot the system.
Question 4: Why does system seem unstable after updating BIOS?
Answer: Please remember to load Fail-Safe Defaults (Or Load BIOS Defaults) after flashing BIOS.
However, if the system instability still remains, please clear CMOS to solve the problem.
Question 5: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume?
Answer: Please make sure the speaker you are using is equipped with an internal amplifier. If not,
please change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later.
Question 6: How do I disable onboard VGA card in order to add an external VGA card?
Answer: Gigabyte motherboards will auto-detect the external VGA card after it is plugged in, so
you don't need to change any setting manually to disable the onboard VGA.

Question 7: Why cannot I use the IDE 2?
Answer: Please refer to the user manual and check whether you have connected any cable that is
not provided with the motherboard package to the USB Over Current pin in the Front USB Panel.
If the cable is your own cable, please remove it from this pin and do not connect any of your own
cables to it.
Question 8: Sometimes I hear different continuous beeps from computer after system boots up.
What do these beeps usually stand for?
