Follow the steps below to correctly install the APU cooler on the APU. (The following procedure uses the GI-
GABYTE cooler as the example.)

Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease
on the surface of the installed APU.

side,push straight down on the the APU cooler
clip to hook it to the mounting lug on the reten-
tion frame.

APU cooler and APU may adhere to the APU. Inadequately removing the APU cooler may damage
the APU.
Step 2:
Place the APU cooler on the APU.
Step 4:
Turn the cam handle from the left side to the
right side (as the picture above shows) to lock
into place. (Refer to your APU cooler installation
manual for instructions on installing the cooler.)

header (CPU_FAN) on the motherboard.
