On most motherboards there are small surface mount resistors near the processor socket which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly installed Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips Also install the cooling fan in a well lit work area so that you can clearly see the motherboard and processor socket Before installing the Processor This motherboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus frequency for the processor You may be able to change the settings in the system Setup Utility We strongly recommend that you do not over clock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed This motherboard has an LGA775 socket When choosing a processor consider the performance requirements of the system Performance is based on the processor design the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory 2 Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components Warning 1 Over clocking components can adversely affect the reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system Over clocking can per manently damage the motherboard by generating excess heat in com ponents that are run beyond the rated limits Fail Safe Procedures for Over clocking When end users encounter failu
