Important

∙

When changing the processor, the system configuration could be cleared and reset 

BIOS to default values, due to the AM4 processor’s architecture.

∙

Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing 

the CPU.

∙

When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink 

is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.

∙

Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting 

your system.

∙

Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure 

the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply 

an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to 

enhance heat dissipation.

∙

If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the 

documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

∙

This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to 

overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate 

overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not 

recommended. MSI
