Although these processors have socket designs similar to the AMD-K6(r) family
processors, heatsink solutions designed for AMD-K6 family processors should
never be used. Most of these will not conform to the required
dimensions. The new exposed flip-chip design of the PGA AMD Athlon and AMD
Duron processors requires a clip load between 12 and 24 pounds
(typically 16 pounds), a load that may not be met by most older heatsink
designs. A thermal compound, such as thermal grease or phase-change
material, must always be applied between the processor die only and heatsink as
well. Typically, AMD recommended heatsinks will include the thermal
compound. AMD socket A processor must also NOT be
powered up without a heatsink, they will burn up in 7 seconds and void your
warranty. None functional processors with chipped die or broken components are
not covered under warranty, sorry.
FICAZ11 Notes: The CPU Host speed is marked incorrectly on board, settings are reversed, the manual is correct. If no post reverse the jumber to 133 setting on board... If bios does not flash on the bios chip, disable the Bios Guardian in the bios settings.
