Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from
overheating.
The system will be automatically shut down and secured when CPU
overheating occurred, so that you won’t be able to restart the system
at this situation. To release the security, please press and hold the
POWER button up to 4 seconds or disconnect the power cable from
the AC outlet, and then restart the system.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or
unplug the power supply’s power cord from grounded outlet first to
ensure the safety of CPU.

This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please
make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting,
while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product speci-
fications is not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages
