thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissipate heat, you

need to attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the CPU. Follow the

instructions below to install the Heatsink/Fan:

2. Position the heatsink onto the re-

tention mechanism.

1. Locate the CPU and its retention

mechanism on the motherboard.

3. Mount the fan on top of the

heatsink. Press down the fan until

its four clips get wedged in the

holes of the retention mechanism.

4. Press the two levers down to
