3.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard provides a ZIF Socket 370. The CPU that came with the mother-

board should have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case,

then purchase a fan before you turn on your system.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s

heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient

circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the

motherboard. You may install an auxiliary 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 lever sideways away from the socket then

upwards to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown.

The notched corner (or corner with gold arrow) should point towards the end of the

lever. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will

only fit in the orientation as shown. The picture is for reference only; you should

have a CPU fan that covers the face of the CPU. With the added weight of the CPU

fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, close the

socket’s lever while holding down the CPU.

NOTE: Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (frequency

multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for your processor or else

boot-up may not be possible. Socket 370 processors provide internal thermal sens-

ing so that a socket mounted thermal resistor is not needed.

CAUTION! Be careful not to scrape the motherboard when mounting a clamp-

style processor fan or else damage may occur to the motherboard.
