Central Processing Unit (Cpu) - Intel AX965Q User Manual

1.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel®
LGA775 Quad-core / Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo / Pentium D / Pentium 4 / Celeron D
CPU processors.
Make sure the AC power is off before you install the CPU.
If installing a dual-core CPU, connect the chassis fan cable to the
CHA_FAN connector to ensure system stability.
Your boxed Intel® Quad-core / Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo /
Pentium D / Pentium 4 / Celeron D CPU LGA775 processor
package should come with installation instructions for the CPU,
heatsink , and the retention mechanism. If the instructions in this
section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap
is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact
your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see
any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard
components. Your place of purchase or local distributor will
shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is
shipment/transit-related.
Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. Your place of
purchase or local distributor will process Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with
the cap on the LGA775 socket.
The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket
contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or
misplacement/loss/ incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
