This motherboard provides a 754-pin surface mount, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket,
referred to as the mPGA754 socket supports AMD Athlon64 processor in the 754 Pin package
utilizes Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array package technology.
The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent
overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on
your system.
