Hardware Setup
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The mainboard supports AMD® Athlon64 / Athlon64 X2 / AM2+ processors in Socket AM2/ AM2+. The Socket AM2/ AM2+ offers easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://global.msi.com.tw/index. php?func=cpuform.
Important
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

4.If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the correct installation proc edures may cause permanent damage to your mainboard.
5.Press the CPU down firmly into the socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely embedded into the socket.
