Intel Pentium 4 Socket478 Processor Thermal Solutions

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is 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. Heatsinks 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 heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor. When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors. Note, those heatsinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support Intel processors. For vendor list of heatsink and fan, please visit :

2-3-2 About INTEL PENTIUM 4 478-PIN CPU

This motherboard provides a 478-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket, referred to as the mPGA478B socket supports Intel Pentium 4 processor in the 478 Pin package utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (FC-PGA2) package technology.

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.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heatsink

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. To locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to 90-degree. 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.

WARNING!

For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 166MHz, use only PC2700- compliant DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your DDR Modules are not PC2100-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.

2-5 To install the Expansion Cards

WARNING!

Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.

2-5-1 Procedure For Expansion Card Installation

1. To read documentations or manuals for your expansion cards and make any necessary

hardware or software settings for your expansion card such as jumpers.

2. To remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.

3. To align the card’s connectors and press firmly.

4. To secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.

5. To replace the computer system’s cover.

6. To set up the BIOS if it’s necessary.

7. To install the necessary software drivers for your expansion cards.

2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card

Some expansion cards need to assign an IRQ address to operate. Generally speaking, an IRQ address must exclusively assign to one use only. With standard factory design, there are 16 IRQs available, but most of them are already in use.

Standard Interrupt Assignments

IRQ Priority Standard function

0 N/A System Timer 1 N/A Keyboard Controller 2 N/A Programmable Interrupt 3 * 8 Communications Port (COM2) 4 * 9 Communications Port (COM1) 5 * 6 Sound Card (sometimes LPT2) 6 * 11 Floppy Disk Controller 7 * 7 Printer Port (LPT1) 8 N/A System CMOS/Real Time Clock
