2-4. Installing Hardware

2-4-1. Installing the Processor

•

This motherboard has an LGA1151 socket.

•

When choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of

the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed

and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal

cache memory and external cache memory.

•

You may be able to change the settings in the system Setup Utility. We

strongly recommend you do not over-clock processor or other

components to run faster than their rated speed.
