Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel
in the 478 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 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.
