Step 1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation

1. Fasten the heat sink supporting-base
onto the CPU socket on t he main-
board.
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 heatsink.
(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 heat sink user's manual for more detail installationprocedure.
