Installing the Processor

Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT

  scratch the motherboard or any of the surface-mount resistors with the clip of the
  cooling fan.If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the motherboard, you may
  cause serious damage to the motherboard or its components.

On most motherboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the processor
socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly installed.

Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips. Also,

install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly see the
motherboard and processor socket.

Before installing the Processor

This motherboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus frequency for the
processor. You may be able to change these settings by making changes to jumpers on the
motherboard, or changing the settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do
not over-clock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.

            Warning:  Over-clocking  components  can  adversely  affect  the  reliability  of  the  system  and
                              introduce  errors  into  your  system.  Over-clocking  can  permanently  damage  the
                              motherboard  by  generating  excess  heat  in  components  that  are  run  beyond  the
                              rated limits.

This  motherboard  has  an  LGA1156  socket.  When  choosing  a  processor,  consider  the
performance  requirements  of  the  system.  Performance  is  based  on  the  processor
design,  the  clock  speed  and  system  bus  frequency  of  the  processor,  and  the  quantity

of internal cache memory and external cache memory.
