Introduction 1-1 Chapter 1. Introduction 1-1. Fatal1ty FATAL1TY STORY Who knew that at age 19, I would be a World Champion PC gamer. When I was 13, I actually played competitive billiards in professional tournaments and won four or five games off guys who played at the highest level. I actually thought of making a career of it, but at that young age situations change rapidly.
1-2 Chapter 1 LIVIN’ LARGE Since my first big tournament wins, I have been a “Professional Cyberathlete”, traveling the world and livin’ large with lots of International media coverage on outlets such as MTV, ESPN and G4TV to name only a few. It's unreal - it's crazy. I’m living a dream by playing video games for a living. I’ve always been athletic and took sports like hockey and football very seriously, working out and training hard.

Hardware Setup 2-1 Chapter 2. Hardware Setup Before installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do so may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or become damaged. 2-1.
2-2 Chapter 2 Before installing this motherboard, exam your chassis to ensure this motherboard fits into it. 1. Face the side of the I/O ports toward the rear part of the chassis. 2. Locate the screw holes on the motherboard and the chassis base. 3. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base, and then have them tightened. 4. Line up all the screw holes on the motherboard with those studs or spacers on the chassis. 5. Tighten all the screws.
Hardware Setup 2-3 2-2. Install CPU, Heatsink and Fan Assembly In order to protect the contact pins, please pay attention to these notices: 1. A maximum 20 cycles of CPU installation is recommended. 2. Never touch the contact pins with fingers or any object. 3. Always put on the cap when the CPU is not in use. 4. Use your right thumb and forefinger to grasp the CPU package. Be sure to grasp on the edge of the substrate, and face the Pin-1 indicator toward the bottom-left side.
2-4 The cap plays an important role in protecting contact pins. In order to prevent bent pin, PUT ON the cap after operation or testing. Chapter 2 For detailed information on how to install your heatsink and fan assembly, please refer to the instruction manual came packed with the heatsink and fan assembly you bought. 7. Lower the plate onto the CPU package. Engage the load lever while gently pressing down the load plate. 10. Press each of the four fasteners down into the mounting holes. 8.
