• If installing a dual-core CPU, connect the chassis fan cable to the

PWR_FAN1/2 or CHA_FAN1/2 connector to ensure system stability.

• Install a chassis fan with at least a speed of 2400 rpm and 8 CFM turnrate

when using a dual-core CPU to ensure system stability. Overheating can

permanently damage the system and/or CPU.

• Install an additional chassis fan to ensure better air flow when overclocking.
• Upon 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. ASUS will shoulder the cost

of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return

Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes

with the cap on the LGA775 socket.

• The 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.
