Introducing Mainboard

2.2 CPU

The MEGA 180 supports AMD

Athlon

, Duron

, Athlon

XP up to

3000+ processors in the 462-pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket

called Socket A for easy CPU installation. When you are installing the CPU,

make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to

prevent overheating.

CPU Clock Frequency Selection

The hardware configuration for CPU clock frequency of the motherboard

is set to 100MHz by default. Therefore, to make a 133MHz CPU run at 133MHz

when it is installed on the board, you have to adjust the CPU clock frequency

through jumpers. To set the clock frequency for the installed CPU, refer to

Jumpers in later section.

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher

performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when

building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environ-

ment is key to reliable operation. As such, the processor must be main-

tained in the specified thermal requirements.

AMD Athlon™ /Duron™ /Athlon™ XP processor with a speed of

600MHz and above requires a 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 se-
