Introduction
11
AMD Cool‘n’QuietTM Technology
The AMD Cool‘n’Quiet
TM
technology allows the system to detect the CPU’s tasks and utilization status. When the CPU’s task slows down, the system effectively lowers power consumption by lowering its CPU speed and voltage, subsequently decreasing its noise level.
CPU Overheat Protection
Monitors CPU temperature during system boot-up
Supports shutdown temperature - automatic shutdown upon
system overheat
CMOS Reloaded
CMOS Reloaded is a technology that allows storing multiple user­defined BIOS settings by using the BIOS utility to save, load and name the settings. This is especially useful to overclockers who require saving a variety of overclocked settings and being able to conveniently switch between these settings simultaneously.
S/PDIF
S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.
6-channel Audio
The audio jacks at the rear panel will support 6-channel audio only when the audio utility is configured to support this function. The mic­in at the rear will be disabled. Use the front audio’s mic-in jack.

2.2 System Memory
Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, proces­sor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.
The system board supports DDR SDRAM DIMM. Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a type of SDRAM that doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling edge of each clock. This effectively doubles the speed of operation therefore doubling the speed of data transfer. Refer to chapter 1 (System Memory section) for detailed specification of the memory supported by the system board.
Note:
If you are installing double rank DDR400 on both DDR 1 and DDR 2 sockets, the maximum DRAM speed will automatically be limited to the speed of a DDR333. However, the BIOS provides the option of manually adjusting the speed to DDR400 by selecting “200” in the “Max Memclock (Mhz)” field (Advanced Chipset Features submenu) of the BIOS.

2.3.3 Installing the Fan and Heat Sink
The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink. Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink, the CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
Note:
Use only certified fan and heat sink.
The fan and heat sink package usually contains the fan and
heat sink assembly, and an installation guide. If the installation procedure in the installation guide differs from the one in this section, please follow the installation guide in the package.
1. Before you install the fan / heat sink, you must apply a thermal paste onto the top of the CPU. The thermal paste is usually supplied when you purchase the CPU or fan heat sink assembly. Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you later place the heat sink on top of the CPU, the compound will disperse evenly.
Do not apply the paste if the fan / heat sink already has a patch of thermal paste on its underside. Peel the strip that covers the paste before you place the fan / heat sink on top of the CPU.
2. The system board comes with the retention module base already installed.
