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.

Socket 754

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.

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 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.

DIMM1 (BANK0+BANK1)

DIMM2 (BANK2+BANK3)

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)

2x notch 4x notch

Example 1:

“Shut down the computer?”

The power supply should turn off after windows shut down.

Chapter 3

Introducing BIOS

The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed done it gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability, and in ensuring that your system performance as its best.

In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may use here:

Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm that the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
