Asus F1A75-I DELUXE - Manual (Page 22)

1.6.2 Installing the heatsink and fan
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1.
Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, ensuring that the heatsink fits properly on
the retention module base.
Your boxed CPU heatsink and fan assembly should come with installation instructions for the
CPU, heatsink, and the retention mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match
the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
• The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard upon purchase.
• You do not have to remove the retention module base when installing the CPU or installing
other motherboard components.
• If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensure that a Thermal
Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the
heatsink and fan assembly.
