The mainboard supports AMD
®
Athlon64 X2 / Athlon64 & Athlon FX processors. The
mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket AM2 (940-pin) for easy CPU installation.
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan
attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and cooling
fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
1. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from
overheating.
2. Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal
tape) between the CPU and the heat sink to enhance heat dissipation.
3. While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug
the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure
the safety of CPU.
