Important
yWhen changing the processor, the system configuration could be cleared and reset BIOS to default values due to the AM4 processor’s architecture.
yAlways unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU.
yWhen installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
yConfirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.
yOverheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
yIf you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

10 Overview of Components
Important
yAlways insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first.
yDue to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.
yBased on processor specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the processor.
yDue to AM4 CPU/memory controller official specification limitation, the frequency of memory modules may operate lower than the marked value under the default state. Please refer www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory.

yWhen adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion card’s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software changes.
yIf you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI Gaming Series Graphics Card Bolster to support its weight to prevent deformation of the slot.

14 Overview of Components
CPU_FAN1, SYS_FAN1~2: Fan Connectors
Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode or DC Mode. PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. DC Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage. When you plug a 3-pin (Non-PWM) fan to a fan connector in PWM mode, the fan speed will always maintain at 100%, which might create a lot of noise. You can follow the instruction below to adjust the fan connector to PWM or DC Mode.

Switching fan mode and adjusting fan speed
You can switch between PWM mode and DC mode and adjust fan speed in BIOS > HARDWARE MONITOR.
Select PWM mode or DC mode
There are gradient points of the fan speed that allow you to adjust fan speed in relation to CPU temperature.
Important
Make sure fans are working properly after switching the PWM/ DC mode.
