Step 1-2: CPU Cooling Fan Installation

1. Hook one end of the cooler
bracket to the CPU socket first.
M Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
M We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat
conduction between your CPU and cooling fan.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the
thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you
might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and
might damage the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you
to either use thermal tape instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan
with extreme caution.)
M Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector,
this completes the installation.
M Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for more detail installation
procedure.
