III. INSTALLATION
Recommended Heatsinks for Slot 1 Processors
The recommended heatsinks for the Slot 1 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, such as the Elan Vital Heatsink with Fan, dissipate heat
more efficiently and with an optional hardware monitor, they can monitor the fan’s
RPM and use the alert function with the Intel LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM)
and the ASUS PC Probe software.
Elan Vital Heatsink with Fan
To install, simply follow the procedures for In-
stalling the Processor. The Elan Vital heatsink,
however, comes with a lever to clamp the heatsink
into the SEC cartridge. Mount the heatsink in the
orientation as shown then flip the lever from “Unlock” to “Lock.”

IMPORTANT! ASUS guarantees accurate readings only for the ASUS Smart
Fan and the Intel boxed processor heatsink with fan because both have similar
heat distribution and heatsink material.
WARNING! Do not insert the sensor between the processor and heatsink, other-
wise, it will cause damage to the P2T-Cable.
