1. Push the load lever down to unclip it and lift to the fully open position.
2. The load plate will automatically lift up as the load lever is pushed to the fully
open position.
Important
Do not touch the socket contacts or the bottom of the CPU.
3. Align the notches with the socket alignment keys. Lower the CPU straight down,
without tilting or sliding the CPU in the socket. Inspect the CPU to check if it is
properly seated in the socket.
4. Close and slide the load plate under the retention knob. Close and engage the
load lever.

5. When you press down the load lever the PnP cap will automatically pop up from
the CPU socket. Do not discard the PnP cap. Always replace the PnP cap if the
CPU is removed from the socket.
Thermal paste
Important
Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting
your system.
Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by
covering the socket with the plastic cap.
If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the
documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

English
6. Evenly spread a thin layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) on the top of the
CPU. This will help in heat dissipation and prevent CPU overheating.
Memory Installation
Video Demonstration
Watch the video to learn how to install memories at the address below.
http://youtu.be/76yLtJaKlCQ
English
Important
DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2, and the DDR3
standard is not backward compatible. Always install DDR3 memory modules in
DDR3 DIMM slots.
To ensure system stability, memory modules must be of the same type and density
in Dual-Channel mode.

Internal Connectors
These connectors allow you to connect an ATX power supply. To connect the ATX
power supply, align the power supply cable with the connector and firmly press the
cable into the connector. If done correctly, the clip on the power cable should be
hooked on the motherboards power connector.

Make sure that all the power cables are securely connected to a proper ATX power
supply to ensure stable operation of the motherboard.

Important
Many SATA devices also need a power cable from the power supply. Such devices
include disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and optical drives (CD / DVD /
Blu-Ray). Please refer to the devices manual for further information.
Many computer cases also require that large SATA devices, such as HDDs, SSDs,
and optical drives, be screwed down into the case. Refer to the manual that came
with your computer case or your SATA device for further installation instructions.
Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result
during transmission otherwise.
SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is
recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space
saving purposes.

The fan power connectors support system cooling fans with +12V. If the motherboard
has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed
fan with a speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control. Remember to
connect all system fans. Some system fans may not connect to the motherboard and
will instead connect to the power supply directly. A system fan can be plugged into
any available system fan connector.

Please refer to your processors official website or consult your vendor to find
recommended CPU heatsink.
These connectors support Smart Fan Control with liner mode. The Command
Center utility can be installed to automatically control the fan speeds according to
the CPUs and systems temperature.
If there are not enough ports on the motherboard to connect all system fans,
adapters are available to connect a fan directly to a power supply.
Before first boot up, ensure that there are no cables impeding any fan blades.

Important
On the connectors coming from the case, pins marked by small triangles are
positive wires. Please use the diagrams above and the writing on the optional MConnectors to determine correct connector orientation and placement.
The majority of the computer cases front panel connectors will primarily be
plugged into JFP1.
Important
Note that the VCC and GND pins must be connected correctly to avoid possible
damage.

BIOS Setup
The default settings offer the optimal performance for system stability in normal
conditions. You may need to run the Setup program when:
English
An error message appears on the screen during the system booting up, and
requests you to run SETUP.
You want to change the default settings for customized features.
Important
Please load the default settings to restore the optimal system performance and
stability if the system becomes unstable after changing BIOS settings. Select the
"Restore Defaults" and press <Enter> in BIOS to load the default settings.
If you are unfamiliar with the BIOS settings, we recommend that you keep the
default settings to avoid possible system damage or failure booting due to
inappropriate BIOS configuration.
Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F11 to enter Boot Menu
If the message disappears before you respond and you still need to enter BIOS,
restart the system by turning the computer OFF then back ON or pressing the
RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>,
<Alt>, and <Delete> keys.
MSI additionally provides two methods to enter the BIOS setup. You can click the
GO2BIOS tab on MSI Fast Boot utility screen or press the physical GO2BIOS"
button (optional) on the motherboard to enable the system going to BIOS setup
directly at next boot.
Important
Please be sure to install the MSI Fast Boot utility before using it to enter the BIOS
setup.

If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal
system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, select the value
of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.
The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and
the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value,
please consult your local EMI regulation.
Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a
slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause
