Socket LGA2011 CPU Cooling solution The LGA2011 socket requires a new version of CPU heat sink. Intel has made available a water cooling solution specifically designed for socket LGA2011. Contact your Intel representative for more information. In addition many 3rd party vendors will be offering thermal solutions for socket LGA2011. Universal Serial Bus (USB) Keyboard and Mouse Recommendation Intel recommends connecting USB keyboard and mouse devices into USB2.0 ports (black). Operating System (OS) installation may be interrupted if keyboard and mouse devices are connected to the SuperSpeed USB3.0 ports (blue) due to the lack of native USB3.0 driver support from the OS. The device driver for the USB3.0 host controller must be installed from the driver found at http://developer.intel.com before it can be operational from the OS. Driver and BIOS Updates Intel continues to provide updated features and performance improvements in later BIOS releases, and recommends that the latest version of BIOS and motherboard drivers be used. The latest versions of these can be found at: http://developer.intel.com
