1.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for the Intel® LGA775 Quad-core / Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo / Pentium D / Pentium 4 / Celeron D CPU processors.

zMake sure the AC power is off before you install the CPU.

zIf installing a dual-core CPU, connect the chassis fan cable to the CHA_FAN connector to ensure system stability.

zYour boxed Intel® Quad-core / Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo / Pentium D / Pentium 4 / Celeron D CPU LGA775 processor package should come with installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink , and the retention mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.

zUpon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. Your place of purchase or local distributor will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

zKeep the cap after installing the motherboard. Your place of purchase or local distributor will process Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.

zThe product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/ incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
