Central Processing Unit: Cpu; Cpu Core Speed Derivation Procedure - MSI 865GM2-LS - Motherboard - Micro ATX User Manual

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports Intel
processor in the 478 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called
PGA478 for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make
sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to
prevent overheating. If you do not find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact
your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure

CPU Clock multiplied by Core/Bus ratio equals the CPU core speed.
For example:
If CPU Clock
Core/Bus ratio
then CPU core speed
Pentium 4/Celeron Northwood/Prescott
® ®
= 100MHz
= 14
= Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 14
= 1.4 GHz
