1. Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.

2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid

damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.

3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or

removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when

you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC

power supply may result in serious damage to your system or

memory module.

Warning:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while

over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of

your device.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

K8S760MG Series User Manual

Take note of the following precautions before you install components

or change settings.

1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object,

such as an attached power supply, before handling components

to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching

any components.

3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed

integrated circuits (ICs).

4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded

anti-static pad or into the anti-static bag that it came in.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

This motherboard supports AMD Athlon64 processors with a 1600 MT/s band-

width and Hyper Thansport

TM

Technology.

1. Unlock the socket by pressing the le-

ver sideways, then lift it up to a 90

o

angle.

2. Align the cut edge to the gap in the

base of the socket. Carefully insert

the CPU into the socket until it fits in

place.

When the CPU is in place, press it

firmly on the socket while you push

down the socket lever to secure the

CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab

indicates that it is locked.

Gap in the base

Installation of CPU

Follow these steps to install the CPU.

Push down the socket

lever to secure the CPU.

Cut edge

Attention:

The CPU pins must be properly aligned with the holes in the

socket, otherwise the CPU may be damaged.

2.If required, apply a light coating of

silica gel to the top of the CPU.

NOTE: The CPU heatsink may have

a pre-applied thermal compound. In

that case, the silica gel is not required.

4.Connect the fan’s power cable

to the appropriate 3-pin terminal

on the motherboard.

1. Locate the CPU retention mecha-

nism base (surrounds the CPU

socket).

3. Attach the fan to the base.

Installation of CPU Fan

New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies.

To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example,

overheating, you need to install the proper fan. The following procedure is

provided for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide for the

actual procedure.

Warning:

Excessive temperature will severely damage the CPU and

system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works nor-

mally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging

to the CPU.
