Central Processing Unit: Cpu; Cpu Core Speed Derivation Procedure - MSI KT4 Ultra User Manual

Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports AMD
processors in the 462 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called
Socket-462 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.

Thermal Issue for CPU
!
AMD Athlon™/Athlon™ XP/Duron™ processor with a speed
of 600MHz and above requires LARGER heatsink and fan. You
also need to add thermal grease between the CPU and heatsink
WARNING!
to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and
heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are
needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation.
You can check AMD's web site for more information.
