CPU FAN
connector. If you have chassis fan, you
can also plug it on
System Fan
(FAN2) or
FAN3
(AUX Fan)
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 1.10V to 1.85V. It is not necessary to set CPU core voltage.
Setting CPU Frequency
This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through the
BIOS setup, and no jumpers or switches are needed.
BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setting
Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio
Note: Some CPU fans do not have
sensor pin so they cannot support fan
monitoring.

Warning: Intel
®
845E chipset supports maximum 400/533MHz
(100/133MHz*4) system bus and 66MHz AGP clock; higher clock
setting may cause serious system damage.

4. Connecting Front Panel Cable
Attach the power LED, speaker, and reset switch connectors to
the corresponding pins. If you enable “Suspend Mode” item in
BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED will keep flashing while the
system is in suspend mode.
Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing. It is
2-pin female connector from the housing front panel. Plug this
connector to the soft-power switch connector marked
SPWR
.

ratio in BIOS manually.
