2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with an AM2+/AM2 socket designed for AMD® Socket AM2+ Phenom™ FX / Phenom / Athlon™ processors or for Socket AM2 Athlon / Sempron processors. The AM2+/AM2 socket has a different pinout from the 940-pin socket designed for the AMD Opteron processor. Make sure you use a CPU designed for the AM2+/AM2 socket. The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU! 2.3.1 Installing the CPU To install a CPU: 1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. 2. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90º angle. Make sure that the socket lever is lifted up to a 90º angle; otherwise, the CPU will not fit in completely. Socket lever ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe 2-5
