It's definitely 754... here's the specs from Gigabyte

I've had a look at the page from the 939-version manual, and it's irrelevant to my board - I only have 3 DIMM slots.

When testing on a cardboard box or similar, am I correct in thinking it is OK to place the board directly on to the cardboard so the pins on the back are in contact with it? There's no need to raise it slightly off the cardboard or anything?

Also, how safe is it to run without any RAM in at all, or without the CPU - and would this help?
