1-3-2 Installation of the Heatsink

Please use Intel

approved cooling fan.

We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduc
tion between your CPU and heatsink. (The CPU cooling fan might stick to the
CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste. During this condition if you
try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the processor out of the
CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To
avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape in
stead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)

Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector,
this completes the installation.

Please refer to CPU heat sink user’s manual for more detail installation
procedure.

1. Push down the cooler clip to secure to the
retention mechanism hooks for all four corners.

2. Plug the cooler power cable into the CPU fan
connector on the motherboard.

4. Locate Pin One in the socket and

look for a (golden) cut edge on the
CPU upper corner. Then insert the
CPU into the socket and close the
socket handle.

3. Locate the Pin One Indicator on the
processor.
