AMD K8 Processor Family
Cooling Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance with increasing operation
clock, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial while building computer systems. Maintaining
the proper computing environment without thermal increasing is the key to reliable, stable, and 24
hours system operation. The overall goal is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case
temperature. Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increasing surface area
and concentrated airflow from attached active cooling fans. In addition, interface materials allow
effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, AMD
recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
Please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended for Socket754 processors by AMD. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of
all heatsinks that support Socket-754 processors.

1-1.1 Special Features of motherboard
Bi-turbo---( Hardware-based Dynamic Over-clocking Technology )
The Bi-turbo Technology offers you dual over-clocking modes. On top of the software based
BIOS setting “Current CPU Clock” for over-clocking, the onboard hardware circuitry will
monitor the change of CPU current to activate 2nd level over-clocking at preset workload level
automatically. The Bi-turbo technology offers the versatility of both hardware-based
intelligent automatic mode and power-manual mode for extra computing performance.
Without complex settings from system BIOS, Bi-turbo provides the seeing promoted system
performance by simple and intuitional BIOS setting. Bi-turbo technology offers more flexible
ways to choose the over-clocking range the of over-clocking activation by actually CPU
hardware loading you define.
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 idle mode from
87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperature in BIOS (from 20℃ to 80℃).
When the system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset value, the CPU
operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset percentage to cool down the processor.
When at throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to indicate it is in
working.
Debug Port (Option)--- ( The Professional Hardware Diagnosis System )
Being bugged of abnormal system failure through the tossed and turned nights no more, the
embedded Hardware Debug Port offers you the real-time visual system healthy for the
demanding usage of computing. No more bugging by unknown system failure and no more
time wasted in the first moment of 24-hour nonstop ping business computing, the embedded
Debug Port will turn you into a well training hardware professional with the seeing system
situation. (The Post Code please refer Appendix)
CPU Smart Fan---( The Noise Management System )
It’s never been a good idea to gain the performance of your system by sacrificing its acoustics.
CPU Smart Fan Noise Management System is the answer to control the noise level needed for
now-a-day’s high performance computing system. The system will automatically increase the
fan speed when CPU operating loading is high, after the CPU is in normal operating condition,
the system will low down the fan speed for the silent operating environment. The system can
provide the much longer life cycle for both CPU and the system fans for game use and
business requirements.
7-Shift--- ( Shift to Higher Performance )
The CPU voltage can be adjusted up to 7 steps from 1.875 Volt to 2.xxx Volt at every 0.05
Volt per step for the precisely over-clocking of extra demanding computing performance.

2-3-2 About AMD Athlon64 754-pin CPU
This motherboard provides a 754-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket,
referred to as the mPGA754 socket supports AMD Athlon64 processor in the 754 Pin package
utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array 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. Locate the ZIF socket and
open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-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.
