This motherboard is equipped with 775-Pin socket that supports Intel 775-LAND CPU.
Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 775-LAND CPU to
dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal interface
material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Ensure 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 2, No. 4).
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your
CPU fan and heatsink.
Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU.
Step 1.
Apply thermal interface material onto center of
IHS on the socket surface.
Step 2.
Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure fan
cables are oriented on side closest to the CPU
fan connector on the motherboard (CPU_FAN1,
see page 2, No. 4).
Step 3.
Align fasteners with the motherboard
throughholes.
Step 4.
Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press down
on fastener caps with thumb to install and lock.
Repeat with remaining fasteners.
If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,
the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.
Step 5.
Connect fan header with the CPU fan connector
on the motherboard.
Step 6.
Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure
cable does not interfere with fan operation or
contact other components.
