W hen you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating. 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://global.msi.com.tw/index.php? func=cpuform2
Important
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.

Important
- 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 Three/ 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 DIMM _A0 first.
- Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up to 23+GB (not full 24GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GB memory module.
- When you install incorrect memory module (the SA2-pin of the memory module connects to Ground) in the DIMM_C0/C1, the LED beside DIMM_C0 will light red color to remind you. The position of the LED is shown as below. Double confirm with your memory module vender for the third channelsupports.
En-11

MS-7522 Mainboard
Installing Memory Modules
1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right orientation.
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.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in the DIMM slot.
3. Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slot clips at the sides.

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 CrossFireX 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 up to 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 2-way CrossFireXTM installation. 1. Install one ATI RadeonTM HD graphics card in the first PCIE x16 (PCI_E2) slot , then
install one ATI RadeonTM HD graphics card in the second PCIE x16 (PCI_E4) slot. 2. W ith 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 PCI_E2 will work. Hence, you only need to connect a monitor to this graphics card.
