This motherboard is equipped with 775-Pin socket that supports Intel 775-LAND CPU.

Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 775-LAND CPU

to dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal

interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.

Ensure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with

each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU_FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see

page 11, No. 2).

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of
your CPU fan and heatsink.

Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU.

Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center

of IHS on the socket surface.

Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure

fan cables are oriented on side closest to the

CPU fan connector on the motherboard

(CPU_FAN1, see page 11, No. 2).

Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard

throughholes.

Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press

down on fastener caps with thumb to install

and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.

If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,

the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

This motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) DIMM slots and

two 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel

Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install
identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR2/DDR3 DIMM pair in
the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDR2
DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_A1 and DDRII_B1; Yellow slots; see p.11 No.

5), identical DDR2 DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDRII_A2 and DDRII_B2;
Orange slots; see p.11 No.6), or identical DDR3 DIMM pair in Dual Channel C

(DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B1; Green slots; see p.11 No.7), so that Dual Channel Memory

Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDR2
