Important
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 heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
3. While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the
power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.
The mainboard supports Intel

Dempsey/ Woodcrest/ Clovertown/ Harpertown
processors in Socket LGA771. 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.
