KT3 Ultra2-C ATX Mainboard
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, ther-
mal 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 a LARGER heatsink and fan. You also need to add ther-
mal grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then,
make sure that the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good con-
tact 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.
