1. About the setting of “Hyper-Threading Technology”, please check
page 20.
2. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically
shutdown. Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard
functions properly before you resume the system. To improve heat
dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU
and the heatsink when you install the PC system.
3. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft
Windows® XP. It may not work properly under Microsoft
Windows® 98/ME/2000. Please refer to Microsoft® official
document at
http://www.microsoft.com/HWDEV/BUS/usb/USB2support.asp
4. Although GE Pro-M/GE Pro-HT offers stepless control, it is not
recommended to perform over clocking. Frequencies other than
the recommended CPU bus frequency may cause the instability
of the system or damage the CPU.
