Environmental Safety Instruction

zAvoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any

area where it may become wet.

z0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request of

the main chipset)

zGenerally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact malfunction

and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from the welding

spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go through an adaptive

phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold environment to a warmer one to

avoid condensation phenomenon. These water drops attached on PCB or the surface

of the components can bring about phenomena as minor as computer instability

resulted from corrosion and oxidation from components and PCB or as major as short

circuit that can burn the components. Suggest starting the computer until the

temperature goes up.

zThe increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer. Using

the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher temperature in

the inner of the case.

zAttention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may

decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

Environmental Protection Announcement

Do not dispose this electronic device into the trash while discarding. To minimize pollution

and ensure environment protection of mother earth, please recycle.

Introduction of Intel G41 Motherboard Series

1-1 Features of motherboard

The Intel G41 chipset motherboard series are based on the latest Intel G41 Express

Chipset and Intel ICH7 Chipset technology which supports the innovative 65nm and

90nm Intel® Pentium® Dual Core Processor，Intel® Core 2 Quad, Intel® Core 2 Duo®

(Code Name: Conroe) Processor with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and fully

supports the future 45nm processors. The motherboard is optimized to deliver innovative

features and professional desktop platform solution with the advantages of the new

generation dual core Intel® Core 2 Duo® Processor for those who demand the best

experience of personal computing.

The motherboards implement Intel G41 Express Chipset which supports Front Side

Bus 1333MHz of data transferring. The model MI5-G41SGMD2-LF supports

dual-channel DDRII 667/DDRII 800 memory module with capacity expandable to 8GB

while MI5-G41SGMD3-LF supports dual-channel DDRIII 800 /DDRIII 1066MHz RAM

Module expandable to 8GB. The motherboard is embedded with ICH7 chipset of

providing one parallel Ultra ATA 100 interface for one IDE drives and four serial ATA2

interface of 3Gb / s data transfer rate for four serial ATA devices.

The G41 motherboard series offer one PCI-Express x16 graphics slot of 8Gbyte/sec

data transfer rate at each relative direction which gets 7 times of bandwidth more than

AGP 8X and up to 16Gbyte/sec peak concurrent bandwidth at full speed to guarantee

the ultimate GPU computing performance. One PCI Express x1 I/O slots and two

32-bit PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity for the I/O of peripherals. The

motherboards are designed of tackling the profuse multimedia requirements

nowadays.

The motherboards provide 10/100 Ethernet LAN function by using the PCI-E megabit

LAN. The embedded Realtek ALC662 chipset is fully compatible with Sound Blaster

Pro standards providing HD audio 6-CH CODEC offers you with the home cinema

quality and satisfying software compatibility.

Embedded USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 8 of USB2.0 functional

ports delivering 480Mb/s of rich connectivity, these motherboards meet the demands

of future USB peripherals which are also equipped with hardware monitor function on

system to monitor and protect your system and maintain your non-stop business

computing.

Some special features---CPU Thermal Throttling/ CPU Vcore 7-shift /OC-CON in this

motherboard are designed for power user to use the over-clocking function in more

flexible ways. But please be caution that the over-clocking maybe causes the fails in

system reliabilities. This motherboard provides the guaranteed performance and

meets the demands of the next generation computing. But if you insist to gain more

system performance with variety possibilities of the components you choose, please

be careful and make sure to read the detailed descriptions of these value added

product features, please get them in the coming section.

1-1.1 Special Features of Motherboard

CPU Thermal Throttling Technology---(The CPU Overheat Protection

Technology)

To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at

high workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter

partially idle mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating

temperature in BIOS (from 40℃to 90℃). When the system senses the CPU

operating temperature reaching the preset value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be

decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool down the processor. When at

throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to indicate it is in working.

CPU Vcore 7-Shift--- (Shift to Higher Performance)

The CPU voltage can be adjusted up by 7 steps for the precisely over-clocking of

extra demanding computing performance.

Solid Capacitors ---（High-polymer Solid Electrolysis Aluminum Capacitors）

The working temperature is from 55 degrees Centigrade below zero to 125 degrees

Centigrade, Solid capacitors possess superior physical characteristics that can be

while reducing the working temperature between 20 degrees Centigrade each time,

intact extension 10 times of effective product operation lives, at not rising degrees

Centigrade of working temperatures each time a relative one, life of product decline

10% only too.

Hardware Installation

2-1 Install LGA 775 Supported Intel Processor

This motherboard provides a 775-pin surface mount, LGA775 Land Grid Array socket,

referred to as the LGA775 socket supports Intel Pentium Dual Core processor in the

775 Pin package utilizes Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA) package technology.

The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to

prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN

before you turn on your system.

WARNING! 1.Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s

heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may

cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you

may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.

. Suggest the power of CPU should below 65w.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the LGA775

socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then

upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown

below. The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU

has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as

shown.

Total Memory (Max.4GB)

2 8GB

Recommend DIMM Module Combination

1. One DIMM Module ----Plug in DIMM1

2. Two DIMM Modules---Plug in DIMM1 and DIMM2 for Dual channel function

For Dual channel Limited!

1. Dual channel function only supports when 2 DIMM Modules plug in either both DIMM1

& DIMM2

2. DIMM1 & DIMM2 must be the same type, same size, and same frequency for dual

channel function.

Install memory modules to your motherboard is not difficult, you can refer to figure

below to see how to install a memory module.

NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject

tab should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its

indention on both sides.
