Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always make sure the cooling fan can work
properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the power supply's power
cord from grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.
Memory
The PT880 Neo-V provides 3 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM and supports up to 3GB memory size.
You can install DDR266/DDR333/DDR400/DDR433/DDR466 SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM
slots (DIMM 1~3).
The PT8 Neo-V & PX8 Neo-V provide 2 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V DDR DIMM and supports up to 2GB
memory size. You can install DDR266 / DDR333 / DDR400 (for PT8 Neo-V only) / DDR433 (for PT8
Neo-V only)/DDR466 (for PT8 Neo-V only) SDRAM modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DIMM 1~2).
To operate properly, at least one DIMM module must be installed. Please note that DDR433/DDR466
are overclocking specs for PT880 Neo-V/PT8 Neo-V only.
Memory Population Rules
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a maximum size of 1GB.
You can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet your own needs.
The PT880 Neo-V supports dual-channel mode and the PT8 Neo-V & PX8 Neo-V support only
single-channel mode. Users may install memory modules of different types and density under
single-channel mode. Under dual-channel mode, however, please make sure that you install memory
modules of the same type and density on DDR DIMMs in pairs -- {DIMM1 & DIMM3} or {DIMM2 &
DIMM3} to ensure system stability.
Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:
