ABSTRACT:
A computer processing unit (CPU) module is described. The present CPU module accommodates a CPU and includes a power supply, a power good detection circuit and a clock speed selector, all of which are integral to the CPU module. The power supply provides the CPU module the ability to convert power supplied to the CPU module to power as needed by the CPU. The power good detection circuit provides the CPU module the ability to notify the mother board of a power supply to the CPU which is below the operating voltage of the CPU (e.g. a power failure or insufficient voltage). The clock speed selector provides the CPU module the ability to automatically set the clock speed to that required by the CPU without modification to the BIOS stored on the mother board or changing components.
