The CPU speed must match with the frequency ratio. It will cause system hanging up if
the frequency ratio is higher than that of CPU.

AMD CPU Heat Sink Installation:

0

Beware: Please check that the heat sink is in good contact with the CPU before you turn on your

system.

The poor contact will cause over heat, and might cause damage to your
processor.

Note: Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s

0000

specifications. We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over
the CPU’s specification because these specific bus frequencies are not the
standard specifications for CPU, chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether
your system can run under these specific bus frequencies properly will depend
on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets, SDRAM, Cards….etc.
