Installing the CPU fan and heatsink assembly

The Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink

and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

• When you buy a boxed Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 processor, the package

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

make sure that you use only Intel

®

-certified multi-directional heatsink and

fan.

• Your Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 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, make sure that

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

before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
