Q (542):
After installing the system, I noticed that the power supply fan wasn't spinning when I powered it on, but the system booted up normally. Is this normal?(12/19/2024)
A:Yes, this is normal.
The power supply supports the iCOOL Intelligent Fan Control Mode.
When "iCOOL Mode" is enabled, the power supply operates in an energy-saving manner, allowing the fan to remain off during low to moderate loads. The fan will only activate when the power load increases or the temperature rises above a certain threshold.
This feature operates in "Auto" mode by default, but certain models feature or include an iCOOL Intelligent Fan Control Mode switch. You can refer to the specifications of your selected model to determine whether it operates automatically or includes the iCOOL Intelligent Fan Control Mode switch.

Q (102):
Why is my 4GB of memory reported as about 3.5GB by the system if the chipset of the motherboard support to 4GB Memory size?(6/11/2004)
A:Under the current PC memory addressing, there is a memory area just below 4.0 GB which is reserved permanently. The maximum DDR memory support is actually about 3.5GB rather than 4GB. This limitation is caused by the current PC architecture in which the missing 0.5GB of memory addresses are reserved for PCI I/O space, AGP aperture mapping space, and other onboard device I/O space. Thus although the chipset datasheet may claim memory support for up to 4GB, the system actually only offers about 3.5GB with four 1GB DDR DIMMs installed. 32 bit processors only support 4GB of address space.
Q (97):
I'm using INTEL Prescott CPU on ASRock motherboard. After the system works for a while, I realize that the sound of the CPU fan is getting louder. What's wrong?(5/15/2004)
A:Please understand that this is a normal behavior of Intel boxed heat sink. The cooling fan which comes with Prescott CPU (see the following pictures) is an automatically adjustable CPU cooling fan and the speed of the fan will be adjusted according to the environment temperature. While higher temperature is detected by the INTEL boxed heat sink, the fan will speed up. So the sound will get louder.
Q (93):
My ASRock motherboard can support Prescott CPU. If I want to use Prescott CPU, is there anything I need to notice?(4/15/2004)
A:Prescott CPU needs more powerful power supply than Northwood CPU. Please use a 400W(or higher) power supply with Prescott CPU. We also recommend to use following vendors' power supply:Delta、FSP、Seventeam、Macron、Snake、AcBel Or please consult the suggestion of this website.

A:The MAC address of the on-board LAN is erased. After updating the BIOS or clearing the CMOS, please boot up the system and enter the BIOS setup. After loading the BIOS default, please exit and save changes. Failing to do so may cause the MAC address disappeared. If the MAC address is gone, please contact ASRock technical support engineer for help. ( https://www.asrock.com/general/about.asp?cat=Contact )

Q (83):
When I play some video or audio media files through my IDE optical devices (CD-ROM and DVD-ROM). I feel that the video/audio playback is not smooth. What should I do?(2/17/2004)
A:It might be that the CDROM is transferring in PIO mode instead of DMA mode. It is highly recommended to enable the DMA function of your IDE optical devices (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM) in order to reduce the CPU loading when accessing optical discs. Please follow the bellow procedure to enable DMA mode.
In Windows 2000/XP, assuming that your IDE optical device is connected on secondary IDE channel as master drive,
Right click the "My computer" icon, select "Properties". Then, select "Hardware"----"Device Manager".
In "Device Manager", select "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"----double click "Secondary IDE Channel".
In "Secondary IDE Channel Properties", select "Advance Settings" and adjust the "Transfer Mode" of the CDROM (Device 0) from "PIO Only" to "DMA if available".
Click "OK".
In Windows 98SE/ME,
Right click the "My computer" icon, select "Properties". Then, select "Device Manager".
In "Device Manager", double click "CDROM". Then, double click your optical device under "CDROM".
In the new window which displays the optical device properties, select "Settings". Then, check the "DMA" box in "Options".
Click "OK".
Q (81):
I'd just finished setting up my system. When booting it up, I found that the LED of the floppy drive is always on and I cannot read any floppy disk with the floppy drive. Why?(1/14/2004)

Q (73):
I have an ASRock ATX motherboard. Do I need to screw on the double hole?(12/12/2003)
A:ASRock ATX motherboards are ATX specification 1.1 and 2.0 compliant, so the screw hole, which is on the right bottom of board, will be double holes design. According to the ATX specification, it is not necessary to screw this hole, you can please just use a plastic stand to bear this hole. If you still want to screw this hole, please do not over-tighten the screw, doing so may damage the board.
