58. you DO NOT scratch the mainboard or any of the surface mount resistors with the clip of the cooling fan If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the mainboard you may cause serious damage to the mainboard or its components On most mainboards 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 mainboard and processor socket Before installing the Processor This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and sys tem bus frequency for the processor You may be able to change these settings by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard or changing the settings in the system Setup Utility We strongly recommend that you do not overclock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed Warning Overclocking components can adversely affect the reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system Overclocking can per manently damage the mainboard by generating excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits This mainboard has a Socket 478 processor socket When choosing a proc essor consider the performance requirements of the system Performance is based on the processor design the clock speed and system bus frequency of the p
