Environmental Safety Instruction
z Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
z 0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request
of the main chipset)
z Generally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact
malfunction and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from
the welding spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go
through an adaptive phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold
environment to a warmer one to avoid condensation phenomenon. These water
drops attached on PCB or the surface of the components can bring about
phenomena as minor as computer instability resulted from corrosion and oxidation
from components and PCB or as major as short circuit that can burn the
components. Suggest starting the computer until the temperature goes up.
z The increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer.
Using the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher
temperature in the inner of the case.
z Attention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may
decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

referred to as the mPGA940 socket supports AMD Athlon64 processor in the 940 Pin package
utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array package technology.
The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent
overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on
your system.
WARNING!
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heat
sink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause
the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install an
auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.

APPENDIX I
Subject 1: Regarding the Application of 3-Phase or 3+1 Phase Power
Supply Mold
As a result of the increasing power consumption demand from many AMD CPUs in
current market, we suggest not to use a CPU that demands more than 65W power
consumption at work for an AMD CPU compliant board that comes with power supply
design as 3 phase or 3+1 phase mold and MOSFET design as working in High SideX1
and Low SideX1 mold so as to avoid MOSFET getting burned or other phenomena like a
halted system or system instability. So please take notice of the CPU you are using and
make sure that it is one that demand not more than 65 W to ensure long-term working
order.
Note：
1. The relation between CPU Power Consumption Amount and Power Phase: depending on
difference in voltage rating, one-phase of power can provide 25~30W to the motherboard.
2. 3- Phase Power Supply Mold: motherboard with 3 inductances for CPU power supply,
and each inductance carries with it 2 MOSFET (6 MOSFETs in total) (Figure1)
3+1–Phase Power Supply Mold: motherboard with 4 inductances for CPU power supply,
and each inductance carries with it 2 MOSFET (8 MOSFETs in total) (Figure2)
Figure 1
Figure 2
Solution：
We recommend users choose motherboards with power design of 4-phase, 4+1 phase or more
for CPUs that demand 89W or 95W power consumption.
We recommend users choose motherboards with power design of 5-phase, 5+1 phase or more
17
for CPUs that demand 125W or 140W power consumption.
Subject 2: Suggestion on choosing electric fan
Both the amount of electric current to MOSFET and the heat produced from the
motherboard go up as AMD’s CPU power consumption increases. In this case we
recommend users select a CPU fan with air outlet towards MOSFET so that CPU fan
can carry away heat produced by MOSFET, for better heat dissipation effects. At the
same time we suggest using well-ventilated cases to maintain temperature as 38℃
approximately inside.( 38℃ is recommended by CPU manufactures)
Cool air flowing
Hot air flowing out
Figure 1---- CPU Fan can not blow off the heat produced by MOSFET. We suggest not to
using fans of this kind
