Installing the optional fans

Install the optional fan only if you are using a passive cooler or a water cooler.

Installing the optional fan with an active CPU cooler will interfere with the airflow

and destabilize the system.

1. Position the fan above the pipe

and heatsink assembly.

2. Fit the fan to the grooved edge of

the heatsink.

3. Carefully push down the fan until

it snugly fits the heatsink, then

connect the fan cable.

4. The photo shows the fan installed

on the motherboard.

• Make sure the optional fan is installed correctly to prevent damage to the fan

and motherboard components.
