Latch the large slotted tab
on the clip to the protrud-
ing tab on the side of the
heatsink support base.

Push down on the
other end of the
heatsink retaining
clip until it locks
into place.

WARNING!

Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s

heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. Without sufficient
circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the processor and the
motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.

NOTE: Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (frequency
multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for your Socket 423 pro-
cessor or else boot-up may not be possible. Socket 423 processors provide internal
thermal sensing so that a socket mounted thermal resistor is not needed.
