I. Heat sink Installation

1.

The case should be laying flat on a table.

2.

Lightly coat the CPU with the provided Céramique™ thermal compound. Detailed instructions can be found at

http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique_instructions.htm

3.

The heatsink ships with 92mm fan brackets pre-installed. You will need to remove them, and install the
included 80mm brackets if you plan on using a 80mm fan. Use a thin screwdriver to remove and install the
brackets, so as to not damage the surrounding pins.

Place the MCX462-V

 heatsink over the CPU as shown in the schematic below. The large step side

MUST be located over the socket cam box. A label affixed to the base of the heatsink clearly identifies
which side this is.
- The retention clips should snap over each side, and hook onto the socket tabs. Make sure that the clips
are properly aligned to fit snuggly underneath the tabs.
- Gradually loosen (counterclockwise) each screw-spring assembly to release the spring tension,
checking that the clips remain engaged underneath the tabs.
- Continue backing off until the head of the screw completely clears the top of the bracket as shown
in the picture to the right ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Æ
- Double-check
to ensure that the clips have remained underneath the tabs.
- Installation to the CPU is now complete
