If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer. For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com/index. php?func=cpuform2 Overheating Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation. Replacing the CPU While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU. Overclocking This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications. Introduction to AM3 CPU The surface of CPU. Remember to apply some thermal paste on it for better heat dispersion. Gold arrow En-5 English Important MS-7599 Mainboard CPU & Cooler Installation When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion. Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard

1. Pull the lever sideways away from

the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

2. Look for the gold arrow of the CPU.

The gold arrow should point as shown in the picture. The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation.

3. If the CPU is correctly installed, the

pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your mainboard.

4. Press the CPU down firmly into the

socket and close the lever. As the CPU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your fingers pressing tightly on top of the CPU to make sure the CPU is properly and completely embedded into the socket. En-6

6. Then press down the other end of the

clip to fasten the cooling set on the top of the retention mechanism. Locate the Fix Lever and lift up it.

7. Fasten down the lever.

8. Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU

fan connector on the mainboard. English

5. Position the cooling set onto the retention mechanism.

Hook one end of the clip to hook first. Important

• Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration only. The appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the model you purchase.
• While disconnecting the Safety Hook from the fixed bolt, it is necessary to keep an eye on your fingers, because once the Safety Hook is disconnected from the fixed bolt, the fixed lever will spring back instantly. En-7 MS-7599 Mainboard Memory These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules. For more information on compatible components, please visit http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=testreport DDR3 240-pin, 1.5V 72x2=144 pin 48x2=96 pin Dual-Channel mode Population Rule In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel mode.

• DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2 and the DDR3 standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3 memory modules in the DDR3 DIMM slots.
• In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
• To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1 first.
• Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up to 15+GB (not full 16GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GB memory module. En-8 Installing Memory Modules

1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right

3. Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slot

clips at the sides. Important You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in the DIMM slot. Notch Volt En-9 English

2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the

golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module is properly seated.

PCI Interrupt Request Routing The IRQ, acronym of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The PCI IRQ pins are typically connected to the PCI bus pins as follows: Order1 Order2 Order3 Order4 PCI Slot1 INT E# INT F# INT G# INT H# PCI Slot2 INT F# INT G# INT H# INT E# PCI Slot3 INT G# INT H# INT E# INT F# En-21 MS-7599 Mainboard ATI CrossFireXTM (Multi-GPU) Technology ATI CrossFireXTM is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. Enabling game-dominating power, ATI CrossFireXTM technology enables two or more discrete graphics processors to work together to improve system performance. ATI CrossFireXTM technology allows you to expand your system’s graphics capabilities. It allows you the ability to scale your system’s graphics horsepower as you need it, supporting two or more ATI RadeonTM HD graphics cards, making this the most scalable gaming platform ever. The mainboard can auto detect the CrossFireXTM mode by software, therefore you don’t have to enable the CrossFireXTM in BIOS by yourself. The following details the 2way CrossFireXTM installation.

1. Install two ATI RadeonTM HD graphics card into two PCIE x16 slots.

2. With two cards installed, an CrossFireXTM Video Link cable is required to connect

the golden fingers on the top of these two graphics cards (refer to the picture below). Please note that although you have installed two or more graphics cards, only the video outputs on the graphics card installed in first PCIE x16 will work. Hence, you only need to connect a monitor to this graphics card. CrossFireXTM Video Link cable Important

• Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration only. The appearance of your motherboard may vary depending on the model you purchase.
• If you intend to install TWO graphics cards for CrossFireXTM mode, make sure that: a. these two graphics cards are of the same brand and specifications; b. these two cards are installed on both mazarine PCIE x16 slots.
• Make sure that you connect an adequate power supply to the power connector on the graphics card to ensure stable operation of the graphics card.
• Only Windows®XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2)& Windows®XP Professional x64 Edition & Windows®Vista & Windows®7 support the CrossFireXTM function. En-22

3. When all of the hardware and software has been properly set up and installed,

reboot the system. After entering the O.S., click the “CatalystTM Control Center” icon on the desktop.

The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. Important
• If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.
• The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.
• Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up. En-34 Software Information Important Please visit the MSI website to get the latest drivers and BIOS for better system performance.
