CPU Processor Installation

This mainboard supports Intel^®Pentium^®4 processors using a Socket 478.

Before building your system, we suggest you visit the Intel website and review the processor

installation procedures. http://www.intel.com

CPU Socket 478 Configuration Steps:

1. Locate the CPU socket on your mainboard and nudge the lever away from the socket.

Then lift the lever to a 90-degree angle.

2.On the socket, locate the corner that has the pin-1 receptor. This corner will have a

cut-corner, on the rectangular shaped pattern of pin holes on the socket.

Match the dot on the CPU with the pin-1 receptor on the socket and lower the CPU onto

the socket. The bottom of the CPU should be flush with the face of the socket.

Pin1 Receptor

Dot

3. Lower the lever until it snaps back into position. This will lock down the CPU.

4. Smear thermal grease on top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU and use the

clasps on the fan to attach it to the socket. Finally, extend the power cable from the fan

and insert it onto the CPUFAN adapter.

Attention

Overheating may damage the CPU and other sensitive components. Please check

the installation completely before starting the system. Make sure the heatsink and

the CPU fan are properly installed.

Warning

This system has a BIOS configuration feature that issues a warning (during

POST) when the CPU fan is not plugged in or is not functioning. In order

to make use this feature. You must make sure that the CPU power cable is

attached specifically to the “CPUFAN” header. The BIOS configuration

option is described in the “Hardware Monitor” section of the BIOS Setup

Utility Chapter.

Frequency / Voltage Control

This mainboard automatically detects and recognizes the CPU ratio. You can otherwise

override these values using the BIOS Setup Utility.

Configuring the CPU Host Frequency by using the BIOS

Setup Utility

To access the BIOS Setup Utility, reboot your system. During the reboot process you will be

given an opportunity to press the “DEL” key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

From the BIOS Setup Utility access the “Advanced” section and then scroll down to the

“Frequency / Voltage Control” field. Adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” and “DDR:CPU

Ratio” according to the formulas below.

Albatron Anniversary Special Edition PX845PEV-800

Formulas

CPU Speed = CPU Clock Ratio * CPU Host Frequency

DDR Speed = DDR: CPU Ratio * CPU Host Frequency

(The CPU Clock Ratio is usually locked by the CPU manufacturer which means it will not be

displayed. You can only adjust the CPU Host Frequency to change the CPU speed. For more

details, please refer to the Frequency / Voltage Control section in Chapter 2.)

If you do not adjust the option, then the CPU Host Frequency will be equal of default CPU

Host Frequency. Or you can adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” and “DDR: CPU Ratio” in the

BIOS Setup Utility for overclocking the CPU and DDR RAM, but we do not guarantee that

damage will or will not occur.

Overclocking example (to FSB 800): have an Intel^®Pentium4 Host Frequency 1.7 GHz CPU

(133MHz, 13 Ratio) and a DDR 400 RAM module plugged on Albatron PX845PEV-800

mainboard. Adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” to 200 and the “DDR: CPU Ratio” to 2.00

(default) in the BIOS Utility. Then the result: the CPU Speed will be 2.6 GHz, and DDR Speed

will be DDR 400. (Suggestion: if you adjust your CPU Host Frequency over 166, disable the

“Fixed AGP/PCI Output Freq” item.)

Note: The AGP and PCI frequencies are both calculated from the Default CPU Host frequency

according to the table below. To determine your frequencies, first locate the row that

corresponds to the “Default CPU Host frequency”. Then, calculate the AGP and PCI

frequencies according to the formulas in the adjacent cells.

Default CPU Host frequency

100 MHz

PCI frequency

AGP frequency

CPU Host frequency ÷ 3

CPU Host frequency ÷ 4

CPU Host frequency ÷ 5

CPU Host frequency * (2/3)

CPU Host frequency * (2/4)

CPU Host frequency * (2/5)

133 MHz

200 MHz

E.g.: If your “Default CPU Host frequency” is 133, then the AGP frequency will be 66 MHz

and the PCI frequency will be 33 MHz.

Watch Dog Timer

This mainboard comes with a special feature called “Watch Dog Timer” which is used to

detect when the system is unable to boot using the manual over-clocking configurations. After

you power on the system, BIOS will check the last system POST status. If it was successful,

BIOS will enable the “Watch Dog Timer” feature and set the CPU frequency values to the user

configured values stored in the BIOS. If unsuccessful the “Watch Dog Timer” will reboot the

system.

On most systems you would need to remove the cover of your system and re-jumper the clear

CMOS switches on the mainboard when your system encounters over-clocking problems. With

the “Watch Dog Timer”, overclocking settings will be automatically cleared and reset.

Before Overclocking

Please make sure your system components are capable of overclocking.

If you are not familiar with the overclocking, we strongly recommend that you to

set the clock to the default settings.

Albatron Anniversary Special Edition PX845PEV-800
