When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure to nstall the cooler to prevent overheatng.
If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turnng on the computer.

Important
Overheatng
Overheatng wll serously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the coolng
fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheatng. Make sure that you apply
an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsnk to
enhance heat dsspaton.
Replacng the CPU
Whle replacng the CPU, always turn o󰘯 the ATX power supply or unplug the power
supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet 󰘰rst to ensure the safety of CPU.
Overclockng
Ths manboard s desgned to support overclockng. However, please make sure your
components are able to tolerate such abnormal settng, whle dong overclockng. Any
attempt to operate beyond product spec󰘰catons s not recommended. We do not guar-
antee the damages or rsks caused by nadequate operaton or beyond product spec-
󰘰catons.

CPU & Cooler Installaton
When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top
to prevent overheatng. Meanwhle, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU
before nstallng the heat snk/cooler fan for better heat dsperson.
Follow the steps below to nstall the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong nstallaton wll
cause the damage of your CPU & manboard.
Open the load level.
1. Lft the load lever up to fully open
poston
2.
The CPU socket has a plastc cap on
t to protect the contact from damage.
Before you nstall CPU, always cover
t to protect the socket pn. Romove
the cap (as the arrow shows).
3. After con󰘰rmng the CPU drecton for
correct matng, put down the CPU n
the socket housng frame. Be sure to
grasp on the edge of the CPU base.
Note that the algnment keys are
matched.
