While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown. Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard functions properly before you resume the system. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system. 3. Do NOT insert a 3.3V AGP card into the AGP slot of K7S8XE+ motherboard! It may cause permanent damage! 4. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft® Windows® XP SP1/2000 SP4.

Although K7S8XE+ offers stepless control, it is not recommended to perform over clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the CPU. The CPU host frequency of this motherboard is determined by the jumpersetting. You must set the FSB jumper according to your AMD CPU before you use the "Manual" option as the FSB setting in BIOS setup to perform over clocking. Please check page 24 for details. 6
