CPU_FAN1 connector to ensure system stability.

Duo CPU with 65nm process package should come with
installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention

shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is
shipment/transit-related.

Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with
the cap on the socket.

contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or
misplacement/loss/ incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
