Central Processing Unit: Cpu - MSI E7320 Master-S User Manual

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports Single/Dual Intel
mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 604 for easy CPU installation. You
can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meet your own needs. Keep the
following points in mind before installing CPU(s):
1. If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1 socket.
2. To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type of CPUs
running at the same FSB frequency.
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.
MSI Reminds You...
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from
overheating.
The system temperature needs to remain under 45°C.
We highly recommend that the direction of inlet air should follow the
direction indicated above for better cooling effect.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the SSI power supply or
unplug the power supply's power cord from grounded outlet first to
ensure the safety of CPU.
