3.6.5 Recommended Heatsinks for Slot A Processors
The recommended heatsinks for the Slot A processors are those with three-pin fans,
such as the ASUS Smart Fan, that can be connected to the motherboard’s CPU fan
connector. These heatsinks dissipate heat more efficiently and with an optional hard-
ware monitor, they can monitor the fan’s RPM and use the alert function with the
Intel LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM) or the ASUS PC Probe software.

WARNING! Do not insert the sensor between the processor and heatsink, other-
wise, it will cause damage to the P2T-Cable.
IMPORTANT! Accurate readings are guaranteed only for the ASUS Smart Fan.
2. Connect the P2T-Cable to the CPU thermal sensor connector (TRCPU).
