cpu (centraL proceSSing unit)
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
If the CPU s correctly nstalled, the
pns should be completely embedded
nto the socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any volaton of the
correct nstallaton procedures may
cause permanent damages to your
manboard.
3. Press the CPU down 󰘰rmly nto the
socket and close the lever. As the
CPU s lkely to move whle the lever
s beng closed, always close the le-
ver wth your 󰘰ngers pressng tghtly
on top of the CPU to make sure the
CPU s properly and completely em-
bedded nto the socket.
4.
Pull the lever sdeways away from
the socket. Make sure to rase the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
1. Look for the gold arrow of the CPU.
The gold arrow should pont as shown
n the pcture. The CPU can only 󰘰t n
the correct orentaton.

Important
DDR3 memory modules are not nterchangeable wth DDR2 and the DDR3 standard
s not backwards compatble. You should always nstall DDR3 memory modules n
the DDR3 DIMM slots.
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you nstall memory modules of the same type
and densty n d󰘯erent channel DIMM slots.
To enable successful system boot-up, always nsert the memory modules nto the
DIMM1 󰘰rst.
Due to the chpset resource deployment, the system densty wll only be detected up
to 15+GB (not full 16GB) when each DIMM s nstalled wth a 4GB memory module.
