Environmental Safety Instruction
zAvoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
z0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request
of the main chipset)
zGenerally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact
malfunction and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from
the welding spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go
through an adaptive phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold
environment to a warmer one to avoid condensation phenomenon. These water
drops attached on PCB or the surface of the components can bring about
phenomena as minor as computer instability resulted from corrosion and oxidation
from components and PCB or as major as short circuit that can burn the
components. Suggest starting the computer until the temperature goes up.
zThe increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer.
Using the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher
temperature in the inner of the case.
zAttention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may
decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

Cooling Solutions
-for AMD Processor Family
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance with
increasing operation clock, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial while
building computer systems. Maintaining the proper computing environment without
thermal increasing is the key to reliable, stable, and 24 hours system operation. The
overall goal is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increasing surface
area and concentrated airflow from attached active cooling fans. In addition, interface
materials allow effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For
optimum heat transfer, AMD recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting
clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
Please refer to AMD website for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended
for Socket AM3+ processors by AMD. In addition, this collection is not intended to be
a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support Socket AM3+ processors.

until the front panel switch is momentarily pressed. Press this switch again will
turn off the power to the system board.
** We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specification 2.0-compliant power
supply unit (PSU) with a minimum of 350W power rating. This type has 24-pin
and 4-pin power plugs.
** If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make sure that the
20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V and the power supply unit
has a minimum power rating of 350W. The system may become unstable or may
not boot up if the power is inadequate.
** If you are using a 20-pin power plug, please refer to Figure1 for power supply
connection. Power plug form power supply and power connectors from
motherboard both adopt key design to avoid mistake installation. You can insert
the power plug into the connector with ease only in the right direction. If the
