Installing an Active CPU
Heatsink with Fan
1. Locate the CPU Fan power con-
nector on the motherboard.
2. Position the heatsink so that
its fan wires are closest to the
CPU fan power connector and
are not interfered with other
components.
3. Inspect the CPU fan wires to
make sure that the wires are
routed through the bottom of
the heatsink.
4. Remove the thin layer of the
protective film from the heat-
sink.
Attention! CPU overheating may
occur if the protective film is not
removed from the heatsink.
5. Apply the proper amount of
thermal grease on the CPU.
Note: if your heatsink came with
a thermal pad, please ignore this
step.
6. If necessary, rearrange the
wires to make sure that the
wires are not pinched between
the heatsink and the CPU. Also
make sure to keep clearance
between the fan wires and the
fans of the heatsink.
