3.6.5 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 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.

SECC2 Heatsink & Fan

NOTE: The SEPP heatsink and fan (for Intel Celeron processors) is similar to the
SECC2 heatsink and fan except that the clamping design is different.

WARNING!

Do not insert the sensor between the processor and heatsink, other-

wise, it will cause damage to the P2T-Cable.

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.

2. Connect the P2T-Cable to the CPU thermal sensor connector on the motherboard.
