Safety Environmental Instruction
z Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
z 0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request
of the main chipset)
z Generally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact
malfunction and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from
the welding spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go
through an adaptive phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold
environment to a warmer one to avoid condensation phenomenon. These water
drops attached on PCB or the surface of the components can bring about
phenomena as minor as computer instability resulted from corrosion and oxidation
from components and PCB or as major as short circuit that can burn the
components. Suggest starting the computer until the temperature goes up.
z The increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer.
Using the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher
temperature in the inner of the case.
z Attention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may
decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

Cooling Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management
becomes increasingly crucial while building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal
environment is the key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the
proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heat sinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and
concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of
heat from the processor to the heat sink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of
thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heat sink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of
heat sinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors. Note, those heat sinks
are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this
collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heat sinks that support Intel processors.

1-1.1 Special Features of motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling Technology--- (The CPU Overheat Protection Technology)
To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at high
workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter partially idle
mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperature in BIOS (from 40
℃ to 90℃). When the system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset
value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool
down the processor. When at throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to
indicate it is in working.

2-3-2 About Intel LGA 1366 CPU
This motherboard provides a 1366-pin DIP, LGA 1366 Land Grid Array socket, referred to as
the LGA 1366 socket.
The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent
overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on
your system.
NOTED!
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heat
sink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause
the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install an
auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the LGA 1366
socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a
135-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The
notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin
for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.
When you install the CPU into the LGA 1366 socket, there’s no force required CPU insertion;
then press the level to locate position slightly without any extra force.
