WARNING! Thermal Issue for CPU 
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, 
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer 
systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable 
operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal 
requirements. 
AMD Athlon™/Duron™/Athlon™  XP processor with a speed of 600MHz 
and above requires LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add thermal 
grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make 
sure that the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with 
each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensur-
ing reliable operation. If you want to get more information on the proper 
cooling, you can visit AMD's website for reference.
