Important Warnings:
STOP
WARNING: NEVER run the processor without the heatsink properly and
firmly attached. This will damage the processor within SECONDS. Also do
NOT try to use Pentium Heatsinks, these will NOT fit and do NOT provide
adequate cooling.
STOP
WARNING: Make sure your power supply can deliver the power your
system needs. We recommend AT LEAST a 250W power supply. Even
better, get a 300W power supply, especially when using many peripherals.
