Thermal Solutions
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, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper
thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and
concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of
heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of
thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of
heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors.

This motherboard uses the newest VIA VT8623 (CLE266) SMA (Share Memory Architecture)
North bridge chipset and VT8235 south bridge chipset. These motherboards support Intel
Tualatin, Coppermine, Celeron and VIA C3 processors whose 133MHz front side bus &
133MHz memory interface delivers a clear upgrade path to the future generation of 133MHz
processors and DDR266 DRAM memory. It offers ULTRA DMA 133MB/sec (ATA 133) to
provide speedier HDD throughout that boosts overall system performance.
For V623DMP/V623DMW, with integrated 3D Graphic Acceleration, makes this board lower
cost alternative to a video card. V623DMP/V623DMW motherboard also integrated PCI LAN
Controller supports 10/100 BASE-T Transfer rate for those whom require faster LAN function
for net work. V623DMW embedded VIA VT1622A TV Encoder provide S-Video/ Composite
connector support NTSC/PAL system signal output.
This board also integrated PCI 6-Channel Audio Controller on board support 6-channel Audio
function, which is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Prothat gives you the best sound
quality and compatibility. With 2 USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 6 USB
connectors compliant to USB2.0 provided 480Mb/sec data transfer rate, which guarantees this
board to meet future USB demand. Moreover, these motherboards had built-in hardware
monitor function that capable of monitor and protect your computer.
This motherboard provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It is
really wise choice for your computer.

2-3-2 Setting CPU Bus Clock & Memory Clock Jumper
Setting the front side bus frequency and SDRAM frequency
The motherboard uses jumper less function for the front side bus frequency and SDRAM
frequency users don’t need setting any jumper when plug the CPU in motherboard
For experience user looking for over clocking possibility, please refer to sec 2-3-4.
2-3-3 Install CPU
This motherboard provides a ZIF socket 370. The CPU that comes with the motherboard
should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then
purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.
WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may
cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install
an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and
open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree
angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner
should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the
four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No forces require to insert of the CPU, then press
the level to locate position slightly without any extra force.
2-3-4 Over clock Running
WARNING! This section is for experienced motherboard installer only. Over clocking
can result in system instability or even shortening life of the processor.
Users can choose over clock running by BIOS CMOS SETUP UTILITY. When you entered
CMOS SETUP UTILITY, choose “Miscellaneous Control” you will see the screen as below
then.

WARNING! The Design of this motherboard follows chipset and CPU vender’s design
guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification are not
recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage your system or
important data. Before over clocking, you must make sure your
components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, especially CPU,
memory, hard disks, and VGA cards.
2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides two 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum
memory size of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM.
Valid Memory Configurations
Bank 184-Pin DIMM PCS Total Memory

Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin DDR200/DDR266 DDR SDRAM module looks like.

11
DDR2 (BANK2 + BANK3) DDR1 (BANK0 + BANK1)
NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be
locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.
WARNING! For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only DDR266-compliant DDR
Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133MHz, most system will not even
boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your
SDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz
to ensure system stability.
2-5 Expansion Cards
WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system
components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard
and expansion cards.
2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation
1. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or
software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.
2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.
3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.
5. Replace the computer system’s cover.
6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.
2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively assign to
one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them are already in use.
