Installation Of Cpu Fan And Heatsink - ASROCK FM2A88X-ITX User Manual

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a
larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray
thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dis-
sipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened
and in good contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the
CPU FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 13, No. 2). For proper in-
stallation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan
and the heatsink.
