CPU Processor Installation
This mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processors using a Socket 478.
Before building your system, we suggest you visit the Intel website and review the processor
installation procedures. http://www.intel.com
CPU Socket 478 Configuration Steps:
1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket.
Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.
2.On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will have a
cut-corner, on the rectangular shaped pattern of pin holes on the socket.
Match the dot on the CPU with the pin-1 receptor on the socket and lower the CPU onto
the socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.
3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.
4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the
clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan
and insert it onto the CPUFAN adapter.
Pin1 Receptor
Attention
Overheating may damage the CPU and other sensitive components. Please check
the installation completely before starting the system. Make sure the heatsink and
the CPU fan are properly installed.

Warning
This system has a BIOS configuration feature that issues a warning (during
POST) when the CPU fan is not plugged in or is not functioning. In order
to make use this feature. You must make sure that the CPU power cable is
attached specifically to the “CPUFAN” header. The BIOS configuration
option is described in the “Hardware Monitor” section of the BIOS Setup
Utility Chapter.
Frequency / Voltage Control
This mainboard automatically detects and recognizes the CPU ratio. You can otherwise
override these values using the BIOS Setup Utility.
Configuring the CPU Host Frequency by using the BIOS
Setup Utility
To access the BIOS Setup Utility, reboot your system. During the reboot process you will be
given an opportunity to press the “DEL” key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
From the BIOS Setup Utility access the “Advanced” section and then scroll down to the
“Frequency / Voltage Control” field. Adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” and “DDR:CPU
Ratio” according to the formulas below.
9
Formulas
CPU Speed = CPU Clock Ratio * CPU Host Frequency
DDR Speed = DDR: CPU Ratio * CPU Host Frequency
(The CPU Clock Ratio is usually locked by the CPU manufacturer which means it will not be
displayed. You can only adjust the CPU Host Frequency to change the CPU speed. For more
details, please refer to the Frequency / Voltage Control section in Chapter 2.)
If you do not adjust the option, then the CPU Host Frequency will be equal of default CPU
Host Frequency. Or you can adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” and “DDR: CPU Ratio” in the
BIOS Setup Utility for overclocking the CPU and DDR RAM, but we do not guarantee that
damage will or will not occur.
Overclocking example (to FSB 800): have an Intel
(133MHz, 13 Ratio) and a DDR 400 RAM module plugged on Albatron PX845PEV-800
mainboard. Adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” to 200 and the “DDR: CPU Ratio” to 2.00
(default) in the BIOS Utility. Then the result: the CPU Speed will be 2.6 GHz, and DDR Speed
will be DDR 400. (Suggestion: if you adjust your CPU Host Frequency over 166, disable the
“Fixed AGP/PCI Output Freq” item.)
Note: The AGP and PCI frequencies are both calculated from the Default CPU Host frequency
according to the table below. To determine your frequencies, first locate the row that
corresponds to the “Default CPU Host frequency”. Then, calculate the AGP and PCI
frequencies according to the formulas in the adjacent cells.
Default CPU Host frequency PCI frequency AGP frequency
E.g.: If your “Default CPU Host frequency” is 133, then the AGP frequency will be 66 MHz
and the PCI frequency will be 33 MHz.
Watch Dog Timer
This mainboard comes with a special feature called “Watch Dog Timer” which is used to
detect when the system is unable to boot using the manual over-clocking configurations. After
you power on the system, BIOS will check the last system POST status. If it was successful,
BIOS will enable the “Watch Dog Timer” feature and set the CPU frequency values to the user
configured values stored in the BIOS. If unsuccessful the “Watch Dog Timer” will reboot the
system.
On most systems you would need to remove the cover of your system and re-jumper the clear
CMOS switches on the mainboard when your system encounters over-clocking problems. With
the “Watch Dog Timer”, overclocking settings will be automatically cleared and reset.

Before Overclocking
Please make sure your system components are capable of overclocking.
If you are not familiar with the overclocking, we strongly recommend that you to
set the clock to the default settings.

This mainboard complies with the ATX standard, which means the ACPI connector on this
board is 2-pin. If the Power LED cable of your case uses a 3-pin adapter, you must use the
2-pin to 3-pin adapter (contained in the packaging).
Locate the Power LED cable attached to the case. If the Power LED cable has a 3-pin
adapter, you must use the 2-pin to 3-pin adapter which comes with the packaging.
The heads of the power cables usually have a triangular mark which indicates the positive
electrode(+). Connect the 3-pin end of the adapter to the Power LED cable, matching up
the positive electrodes(+).
