Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Single/Dual AMD
mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 940 for easy CPU installation. You
can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the mainboard 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 frequency.
Thermal Issue for CPU
WARNING!
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance,
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems.
Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable operation. As such, the
processor must be maintained in the specified thermal requirements.
