1.3 Thermal Solution
To prevent the system from overheating, we have adopted a specially de-
signed CPU cooler and multiple ventilation holes for better cooling effects.
The specially designed CPU cooler supports Intel® LGA775 processors. The
following figures illustrate how the system fan effectively exhausts hot air through
multiple ventilation holes.

2.2 CPU
The mainboard supports Intel® Core™ 2 Duo/ Pentium D/ Pentium 4/ Celeron
Series processors. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called LGA775. When you are
installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you
do not have the CPU cooler, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before
turning on the computer. (For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.
msi.com.tw/program/products/slim_pc/slm/pro_slm_cpu_support.php)
MSI Reminds You...
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from
overheating.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the
power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.
Overclocking
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please
make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting,
while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages
or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product
specifications.

CPU & Cooler Installation
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached
on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the cooler, contact your
dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. Meanwhile, do not
forget to apply some silicon heat transfer compound on CPU before installing the heat
sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.
Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation
will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.
1.The CPU has a land side cover on
the bottom to protect the CPU contact from damage. Rotate it to make
the pin 1 indicator (yellow triangle)
in the right-bottom corner.
land side cover
3.Use 2 hands to remove the land side
cover (if any). Please note not to
touch the pins.
2.Take out the accompanying CPU Clip
and rotate it for the same direction as
the CPU (Pin 1 indicator is in the leftbottom corner).
4.Align the two pin 1 indicators (the
triangles on the CPU & the CPU Clip),
and use the CPU Clip to clip the CPU
up, pressing the clips on both sides
to the center, as the arrows shown.
MSI Reminds You...
1.Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your
system.
2.Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.
3. The availability of the CPU land side cover depends on your CPU
packing.
2-5
5.The CPU socket has a plastic cap on
it to protect the contact from damage.
Before you have installed the CPU,
always cover it to protect the socket
pin.
6.Remove the cap from lever
hinge side (as the arrow
shows). The pins of socket
reveal.
7.Lift the load lever up and open the
load plate.
9.Use your thumb and the middle fin-
gers to push the clips to release the
CPU, then press down the CPU with
your index finger to allow the whole
module to be installed onto the CPU
socket.
8.Correctly align the triangle of
CPU Clip with the CPU chamfer,
and the square on the CPU Clip
to the hook of the socket.
10.The CPU is installed well on
the CPU socket.
2-6
Chapter 2 - Mainboard Hardware
11.Visually inspect if the CPU is seated
well into the socket, then remove the
CPU Clip with 2 fingers. Then cover
the load plate onto the package.
13. Align the holes on the mainboard
with the heatsink. Lock the
cooler until its four screws fixed
on the mainboard.
12. Press down the load lever
lightly onto the load plate, and
then secure the lever with the
hook under retention tab.
Note:If you want to uninstall the
CPU, align the 4 points (see
Point 8 for details) again and
push the clip to lift up the CPU.
MSI Reminds You...
1.Check the information in BIOS Chapter for the CPU temperature.
2. Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin
with the plastic cap covered to avoid damaging.
3. Please note that the mating/unmating durability of the CPU is 20
cycles. Therefore we suggest you do not plug/unplug the CPU too
often.
