CPU, Heatsink & Fan Installation

sink/ cooler fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do
not have the heat sink/cooler fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install
them before turning on the computer. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some
silicon heat transfer compound on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler
fan for better heatsinking.

installation will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.

cap on it to protect the con-
