AOpen AX3SP Pro-U Easy Installation Manual Download Page 3

1. 

Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to 
90-degree angle.

 

2. 

Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a
(golden) cut edge on the CPU upper interface.
Match Pin 1 and cut edge. Then insert the
CPU into the socket.

 

3. 

Press down the CPU socket lever and finish
CPU installation.

 

Plug in the CPU fan cable to the 3-pin 

CPU FAN 

connector. If you have chassis fan,

you can also plug it on 

FAN2 

or 

FAN3 

connector.

5. Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency 

Setting CPU Core Voltage

 

This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automatically 
detected and the range is from 1.05V to 1.825V. It is not necessary to set CPU Core 
Voltage 

Setting CPU Frequency 

CPU frequency can be set through the BIOS setup. 

BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setting

 

Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio 

CPU Ratio 

3x, 3.5x, 4x, 4.5x, 5x, 5.5x, 6x, 6.5x, 7x, 7.5x, 8x, 8.5x, 9x, 9.5x, 10x, 10.5x, 11x, 
11.5x, and 12x 

CPU FSB (By BIOS table) 

66.6, 66.8, 68.3, 70, 75, 80, 83, 100, 100.2, 103, 105, 110, 115, 120, 124, 133.3, 
133.6, 137, 140, 145, 150, 160, 166.5 and 200 MHz 

CPU FSB 
(1 MHz Stepping by 
manual Adjustment) 

FSB = 66, 66~83MHz 

FSB = 100, 75~124MHz   

FSB = 133, 100~248MHz   

Fan2 Connector 

Tip:

 If your system hangs or 

fails to boot because of 
overclocking, simply use 
<Home> key to restore the 
default setting or you can wait 
the AOpen “Watch Dog 
Timer” reset the system in 
five seconds and system will 
auto-detect hardware again.

 

4. Installing CPU & Housing Fan 

3. Installing CPU 

Note: 

If you do not match the CPU 

socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it 
may damage the CPU.

Sensor

 

Note: 

Some CPU fans do not have 

sensor pin, so that cannot support fan 
monitoring. 

Fan3 Connector 

Warning:

 Intel

®

 815EP B-Step 

chipset supports maximum 
133MHz FSB and 66MHz AGP 
clock, higher clock setting may 
cause serious system damage.

Sensor

 

Warning:

 To avoid possible CPU damage caused by overheating, an automatic shutdown 

of system had been especially designed on this motherboard. System would be 
automatically power off when this motherboard with implementation of THERMTRIP 
circuit detected a CPU temperature above 135 degree for 4 seconds.
