Introduction to the LGA 1151 CPU

The surface of the LGA 1151 CPU has two

notches

and a

golden triangle

to assist in correctly lining up the CPU for motherboard placement. The golden triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.

Important

y

Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU.

y

Please retain the CPU protective cap after installing the processor. MSI will deal with

Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests if only the motherboard comes with the protective cap on the CPU socket.

y

When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.

y

Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.

y

Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

y

Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering the socket with the plastic cap.

y

If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

y

This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. MSI

®

does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation beyond product specifications.

Important

y

Always insert memory modules in the

DIMMA2

slot first.

y

Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.

y

Based on Intel CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the CPU.

y

Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than

4GB memory on the motherboard.

y

Some memory may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial Presence

Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the

Memory Try It!

to set the memory frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.

y

It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.

y

The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU and devices when overclocking.

CPU_FAN1, PUMP_FAN1, SYS_FAN1~5: Fan Connectors

Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode or DC Mode.

PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. DC Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage.

When you plug a 3-pin (Non-PWM) fan to a fan connector in PWM mode, the fan speed will always maintain at 100%, which might create a lot of noise. You can follow the instruction below to adjust the fan connector to PWM or DC Mode.

RAID Configuration

Below are the different types of a RAID.

RAID 0

breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives.

Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance.

RAID 1

provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance.

RAID 5

provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance.

RAID 10

uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID 0 and 1 by forming a

RAID 0 array from two RAID 1 arrays.
