Intel Pentium 4 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, 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.

Blaster Pro that gives you the best sound quality and compatibility.
With USB control as well as capability of expanding to 6 USB2.0 function ports, the
845GDA/845GDAL meet future USB demand also this motherboard has built-in
hardware monitor function. This will monitor and protect your computer. These
motherboards special design in hardware to protect BIOS from virus crash BIOS data.
The 845GDA/845GDAL motherboard provides special function in BIOS Setup to
setting CPU Host clock step by step increasing let users to approach over clocking.

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!
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 90degree 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.
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.

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force require to insert of the CPU, then
press the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.

2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides two 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum
memory size of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM.

NOTE!
Make sure the installed memory are DDR266 SDRAM support 133MHz
memory clock, otherwise the system may hang during startup.
Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can
refer to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin DDR266/DDR200 DDR SDRAM module looks
like.
DDR2 (BANK2+BANK3)
DDR1 (BANK0+BANK1)
NOTE!
WARNING!
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 DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only DDR266-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 SDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to
100MHz to ensure system stability.

2-5 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.
10
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.
Standard Interrupt Assignments

IMPORTANT!
If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support
“Sh ared IRQ” or that the cards don’t need IRQ assi gnme nts. Conf lict s
will arise between the two PCI groups that will make the system
unstable or cards inoperable.
2-5-4 AGP Slot
This motherboard provides an AGP Slot, only support the 1.5V 4X AGP VGA card.
Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will burn and damage the
motherboard due to Intel® 845 chipset can not support AGP 2X (3.3V).
The AGP Slot also supports AGP Digital Display Card for digital display and TV-out.
IMPORTANT!
Before you plug-in AGP card, please make sure the following notice
is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP card has “AGP 4X
notch (show below) please make sure your AGP card is AGP 4X
(1.5V) not AGP 2X (3.3V)
Example 1:
Example 2:
4x notch 2x notch
AGP SLOT
SiS 305 & ATi Rage 128 Pro AGP card those golden finger is compatible
with 2X/4X mode AGP slot, but only can support 2X (3.3V) only. If you
install these cards in Intel® 845 based motherboard it will burn and damage
the motherboard.
We also find Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is design for 2X/4X
mode AGP Slot. It can be adjusted the jumper for AGP 2X (3.3V) or
AGP 4X (1.5V). But the factory default setting is 2X (3.3V). If you
install this AGP card in motherboard without change the jumper setting to
4X (1.5V), it will burn the motherboard.
