939AGP-EC/939AGP-G-EC User’s Manual
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 Socket939 processors by AMD. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of
all heatsinks that support Socket-939 processors.

and
Serial ATA RAID 0, 1
boosts overall system performance.
functions to provide speedier HDD throughout that
939AGP-EC provided 10/100Mbps LAN function used t VIA VT6103 LAN PHY chip
supports 10M/100Mbps data transfer rate provided full duplex, half duplex operation.
939AGP-G-EC provided Giga LAN function used the RealTek RT8110S Giga-LAN

These motherboards provide high performance & meets future specification demand. It is
really wise choice for your computer.

1-1.1 Special Features of motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling 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.
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.
CPU Vcore minor change--- ( Shift to Higher Performance )
The CPU voltage can be adjusted up to 4 steps for the precisely over-clocking of extra
demanding computing performance.

2-3-2 About AMD Athlon64 939-pin CPU
This motherboard provides a 939-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket,
referred to as the mPGA939 socket supports AMD Athlon64 processor in the 939 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.

CPU ZIF mPGAB Socket
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.

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 200MHz, use only DDR400- compliant
DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 200Mhz, most system will
not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict
timing issues, if your DDR Modules are not DDR400-compliant, set the
SDRAM clock to 133MHz 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.
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.
