GA-3CCWV-RH/GA-3CCWL-RH Motherboard Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process 2-1: Installing Processor and CPU Haet Sink Before installing the processor and cooling fan, adhere to the following cautions: 1. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent irreparable damage.
Page 13
Hardware Installation Process Step 4. When the processor installation is completed, apply thermal grease to the processor(as prior to installing the heatsink. AMD recommends using a high thermal conductivity grease for the thermal interface material rather than a phase change material. Phase change materials develop strong adhesive forces between the heatsink and processor.
GA-3CCWV-RH/GA-3CCWL-RH Motherboard 2-1-2: Installing Heat Sink Step 1. Attach th cooling fan clip to the processor scoket. Align the heatsink assembly with the support frame mating with the backer plate standoffs as shown in Figure 5&6. Step 2. Coonect the processor fan cable to the processor fan connector.
GA-3CCWV-RH/GA-3CCWL-RH Motherboard 2-2: Install Memory Modules Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning: When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket. The motherboard has 8 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size.
Hardware Installation Process Installation Step: 1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outwards. 2. Aling a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM exactly match the notches in the socket. Firmly insert the DIMMinto the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place. 3.
