1. Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.

2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid
damage to the motherboard and CPU due high temperatures.

3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or
removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when
you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC
power supply may result in serious damage to your system or

memory module.

Warning:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity
of your device.

Warning:

Attention:

Since BIOS programs are upgraded from time to time, the BIOS
description in this manual is just for reference. We do not guarantee
that the content of this manual will remain consistent with the actual
BIOS version at any given time in the future.
