Installing the fan
Install the fan only if you are using a passive cooler or a water cooler. Installing
the 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.
3.
Carefully push down the fan until
it snugly fits the heatsink, then
connect the fan cables.
5.
Repeat step 1-4 to install the other fans.
