Installing the CPU heatsink and fan

The Intel LGA1156 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to
®
ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
• When you buy a boxed Intel
heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, ensure that you use only Intel
multi-directional heatsink and fan.
• Your Intel
requires no tool to install.
• Use an LGA1156-compatible CPU heatsink and fan assembly only. The LGA1156 socket
is incompatible with the LGA775 and LGA1366 sockets in size and dimension.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensure that you have
properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install
the heatsink and fan assembly.
Ensure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU
fan and heatsink assembly.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed
CPU, ensuring that the four fasteners match
the holes on the motherboard.
Orient the heatsink and fan assembly
such that the CPU fan cable is closest to
the CPU fan connector.
2. Push down two fasteners at a time in a
diagonal sequence to secure the heatsink
and fan assembly in place.
