Warning: Over-clocking components can adversely affect the reliability
of the system and introduce errors into your system. Over-clocking can
permanently damage the motherboard by generating excess heat in
components that are run beyond the rated limits.
This motherboard has a Socket 462 processor socket. When choosing a processor, consider
the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design,
the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal
cache memory and external cache memory.
CPU Installation Procedure
The following illustration shows CPU installation components.
1
Install your CPU. Pull up the lever away
from the socket and lift up to 90-degree
angle.
2
Locate the CPU cut edge (the corner with
the pin hold noticeably missing). Align and
insert the CPU correctly.
3
Press the lever down and apply thermal
grease on top of the CPU.
4
Put the CPU Fan down on the retention
module and snap the four retention legs of
the cooling fan into place.
5
Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in
place and connect the CPU cooling Fan
power cable to the CPUFAN connector. This
completes the installation.
To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use
a high quality fan with 4800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink installa-
tion procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The
form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.
