1. Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.
2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid
damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.
3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.
4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or
removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when
you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC
power supply may result in serious damage to your system or
memory module.
Warning:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of
your device.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
K8S760MG Series User Manual
Take note of the following precautions before you install components
or change settings.
1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object,
such as an attached power supply, before handling components
to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching
any components.
3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed
integrated circuits (ICs).
4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded
anti-static pad or into the anti-static bag that it came in.

width and Hyper ThansportTM Technology.
1. Unlock the socket by pressing the le-
ver sideways, then lift it up to a 90o
angle.
2. Align the cut edge to the gap in the
base of the socket. Carefully insert
the CPU into the socket until it fits in
place.
When the CPU is in place, press it
firmly on the socket while you push
down the socket lever to secure the
CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab
indicates that it is locked.
Gap in the base

2.If required, apply a light coating of
silica gel to the top of the CPU.
NOTE: The CPU heatsink may have
a pre-applied thermal compound. In
that case, the silica gel is not required.
4.Connect the fan’s power cable
to the appropriate 3-pin terminal
on the motherboard.
1. Locate the CPU retention mecha-
nism base (surrounds the CPU
socket).
3. Attach the fan to the base.
Installation of CPU Fan
New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies.
To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example,
overheating, you need to install the proper fan. The following procedure is
provided for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide for the
actual procedure.
Warning:
Excessive temperature will severely damage the CPU and
system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works nor-
mally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging
to the CPU.
