Hardware Setup 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 ensuring reliable operation. If you want to get more information on the proper cooling, you can visit AMD's website for reference. 2-3

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.
