2.5.2 Installing 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.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the
installed CPU, making sure that
the four fasteners match the
holes on the motherboard.
