2.3 Installation of the CPU and CPU Cooler

Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:
1. Please make sure that the mainboard supports the CPU.
2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the wrong
direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction
of the CPU.
3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and CPU cooler.
4. Please make sure the CPU cooler is installed on the CPU prior to system use, otherwise
overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.
5. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specifications. It is not
recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since
it does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequen-
cy beyond the proper specifications, please do so according to your hardware
specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.
