Installation Of The Heatsink - Gigabyte GA-8TRX330-L User Manual

1-3-2 Installation of the Heatsink

Before installing the CPU cool fan , adhere to the following warning:
1. Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
2. 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 rem ove 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 therm al paste, or rem ove the cooling fan with
extreme caution.)
3. Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this
completes the installation. Please refer to CPU cooling fan user's manual for
more detail installation procedure.
