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.

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.

2-4 To install the system memory
This motherboard provides three 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.
Valid Memory Configurations
Bank 184-Pin DIMM PCS Total Memory
Bank 0, 1 (DIMM1) PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 DDR SDRAM X1
Bank 2, 3 (DIMM2) PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 DDR SDRAM X1

NOTE!
WARNING!
When you install DIMM modules fully into the DIMM sockets the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM modules firmly and fit to its indention on both
sides.
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.
