Installing CPU fan and heatsink assembly

The Intel

®

LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan

assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

• When you buy a boxed Intel

®

processor, the package

includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately,

ensure that you use only Intel

®

-certified multi-directional heatsink and fan.

• Your Intel

®

LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design

and requires no tool to install.

If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensure that the

Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU

before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.

To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the

installed CPU, ensuring that the four

fasteners match the holes on the

motherboard.

2. Push down two fasteners at a time in

a diagonal sequence to secure the

heatsink and fan assembly in place.
