4.4 Socket LGA1151 Cooling Kit Installation
WARNING:
DO NOT attempt to install a push-pin cooling fan.
The pre-installed support bracket prevents the board from
bending and is ONLY compatible with captive screw type
cooling fans.
The cooling kit can be bought from IEI. The cooling kit has a heat sink and fan.
WARNING:
Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of
thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink. The thermal paste
between the CPU and the heat sink is important for optimum heat
dissipation.
To install the cooling kit, follow the instructions below.
Step 1:
A cooling kit bracket is pre-installed on the rear of the motherboard.
See Figure 4-5.

Step 2:
Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA1151 CPU. Make sure
the CPU cable can be properly routed when the cooling kit is installed.
