The LGA1156 CPU is incompatible with the LGA1155 socket. DO NOT install a 

LGA1156 CPU on the LGA1155 socket.

• 

Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and 

the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap 

is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard 

components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/

transit-related.

• 

Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise 

Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the 

LGA1155 socket.

• 

The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from 

incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP 

cap.

Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
