Important Warnings:
STOP
WARNING:
NEVER run the processor without the heatsink
properly and firmly attached. This will damage the processor within
SECONDS. Also do NOT try to use Pentium Heatsinks, these will
NOT fit and do NOT provide adequate cooling.
STOP
WARNING:
Make sure your power supply can deliver the power
your system needs. We recommend AT LEAST a 250W power
supply. Even better, get a 300W power supply, especially when
using many peripherals.
