AMD Athlon™ / Duron™ Processor Family
Cooling 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, AMD 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 AMD for use with AMD
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 AMD processors.

Introduction of 830CN/830CH/830CF Motherboard
1-1 Feature of motherboard
The 830CN/830CH/830CF motherboard is design for use AMD Athlon / Duron
processors, which utilize the Socket A design and the memory size expandable to 1GB.
This motherboard use the newest SiS 730S chipset, whose front side bus (133MHz/
266MHz (DDR) for 830CH/830CF/830CN. Provides a high performance/low cost
solution for Socket A series CPUs based system, by integrating a high performance
North Bridge, advanced hardware 2D/3D GUI engine and Super-South Bridge.
Moreover, by integrating the Ultra AGP technology and advanced 128-bit graphic display
interface, SiS 730S delivers AGP 4X performance and up to 2GB/s memory bandwidth,
and provides powerful hardware decoding DVD accelerator to improve the DVD
playback performance. On-board VGA memory can select from 8Mb to 64Mb.
830CH/830CF provides 4x Mode AGP slot support 4X AGP card for those wanting
even greater graphic performance. However, due to chipset’s specification, on board
AGP slot supports n-Vidia TNT series VGA card only.
830CF also support 10/100 Mb Fast Ethernet controller for office requirement.
This motherboard provides AC’97 compliant interface that comprises digital audio
engine with 3D-hardware accelerator, on-chip sample rate converter. This motherboard
also provides dual USB host controller with four USB Ports that deliver better
connectivity and 2x12Mb bandwidth. The built-in Fast PCI IDE controller supports
Ultra DMA 33/66/100 function up to 100MB/s for data transfer rate. In addition,
830CN/830CH/830CF provides hardware monitor function that will monitoring and
protects your computer.
The 830CN/830CH/830CF motherboard provides special function in BIOS Setup to
setting CPU Host clock step by step increasing let users to approach over clocking.
This motherboard provides high performance & meets future specification demand. It
is really wise choice for your computer.

motherboard.
Slot (AGP, PCI, ISA, RAM) - the slots used to mount adapter cards and system RAM.
AGP - Accelerated Graphics Port - a high speed interface for video cards; runs at 1X
(66MHz), 2X (133MHz), or 4X (266MHz).
PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect - a high speed interface for video cards,
sound cards, network interface cards, and modems; runs at 33MHz.
ISA - Industry Standard Architecture - a relatively low speed interface primarily used
for sound cards and modems; runs at approx. 8MHz.
Serial Port - a low speed interface typically used for mouse and external modems.
Parallel Port - a low speed interface typically used for printers.
PS/2 - a low speed interface used for mouse and keyboards.
USB - Universal Serial Bus - a medium speed interface typically used for mouse,
keyboards, scanners, scanners, and some digital cameras.
Sound (interface) - the interface between the sound card or integrated sound
connectors and speakers, MIC, game controllers, and MIDI sound devices.
LAN (interface) - Local Area Network - the interface to your local area network.
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) - the program logic used to boot up a computer and
establish the relationship between the various components.
Driver - software, which defines the characteristics of a device for use by another
device or other software.
Processor - the "central processing unit" (CPU); the principal integrated circuit used
for doing the "computing" in "personal computer"
10
Front Side Bus Frequency
- the working frequency of the motherboard, which is
generated by the clock generator for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS.
CPU L2 Cache
- the flash memory inside the CPU, normally Athlon CPU has 256K or
above, while Duron will have 64K.
2-3-2 About AMD Athlon & Duron 462-pin CPU
This motherboard supports Socket-A (Socket-462) AMD Athlon/Duron processors.
This motherboard provides a ZIF Socket-A. 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.
WARNING!
Due to this motherboard provides new function of protecting CPU;you
must connect the CPU FAN connector on CPUFAN location in order to
obtain this feature. Without connection on CPUFAN (or you have connect
CPU FAN on SYSFAN), the system will shut down immediately to protect
both your CPU and motherboard.
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.

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No forces require to insert of the CPU,
then press the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.
2-3-3 Over clock Running

WARNING!
This section is for experienced motherboard installer only. Over
clocking can result in system instability or even shortening life of
the processor.
After setting the Jumper S1 you can choose over clock running by BIOS CMOS
SETUP UTILITY. When you entered CMOS SETUP UTILITY, choose “Miscellaneous
Control” you will see the screen as below, when setting clock control by software, you
can setting Host Clock step by step in Host Clock at next boot from 100MHz to
166MHz for user approach over clock running.

(
This motherboard provides two 168-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES

When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should
be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both
sides.
For the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC133-compliant
DIMMs. 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 DIMM are not PC133-compliant, set the SDRAM
clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability.
2-5 Expansion Cards
13
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. Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware
or software setting for your expansion card such as jumpers.
2. Remove your computer’s cover and the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use.
3. Align the card’s connectors and press firmly.
4. Secure the card on the slot with the screen you remove above.
5. Replace the computer system’s cover.
6. Set up the BIOS if necessary.
7. Install the necessary software driver for your expansion card.
2-5-2 Assigning IRQs For Expansion Card
Some expansion cards need an IRQ to operate. Generally, an IRQ must exclusively
assign to one use. In a standard design, there are 16 IRQs available but most of them
are already in use.
