S755MAX 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 Socket-A
processors by AMD. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all
heatsinks that support Socket-754 processors.

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.
CPU ZIF mPGAB Socket
Colden Arrow
Socket 754
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.

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/DDR333/DDR400 DDR SDRAM module looks
like.
DIMM2 (BANK2+BANK3)
DIMM1 (BANK0+BANK1)
NOTE! 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.
WARNING! 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
SDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR 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.

IMPORTANT! If using PCI cards on shared slots, make sure that the drivers support “Shared
IRQ” or that the cards don’t need IRQ assignments. Conflicts 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/0.8V 8X AGP VGA card.
Do not use AGP 2X card (3.3V) in this motherboard. It will burn and damage the motherboard due to
chipset can not support AGP 2X (3.3V).
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/8X (1.5V/0.8V) not AGP
2X (3.3V)

AGP SLOT
Example 1: 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® 865 based motherboard it will burn and damage the motherboard.
Example 2: 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.
2-6 Connectors, Headers
2-6-1 Connectors
(1) Power Connector (20-pin block) : PWR2
ATX Power Supply connector. This is a new defined 20-pins connector that usually comes with
ATX case. The ATX Power Supply allows to use soft power on momentary switch that connect
from the front panel switch to 2-pins Power On jumper pole on the motherboard. When the
power switch on the back of the ATX power supply turned on, the full power will not come into
the system board until the front panel switch is momentarily pressed. Press this switch again
will turn off the power to the system board.

connector for support extra 12V voltage to maintain system power consumption.
Without this connector might cause system unstable because the power supply can not
provide sufficient current for system.
