1-3 Installing the CPU
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU:
•• Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.)
•• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.
•• Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)
•• Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.
•• Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage of the CPU may occur.
•• Set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the CPU specifications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard specifications, pleasedosoaccordingtoyourhardwarespecifications includingtheCPU,graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

1/2) ATX_12V_2X4/ATX (2x4 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector)
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.
The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start.
To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/2A/2B (Fan Headers)
All fan headers on this motherboard are 4-pin. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The speed control function requires the use of a fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.
