Installing the CPU heatsink
To install the CPU heatsink:
1.
Place the CPU heatsink and fan on top of the installed CPU, ensuring that the four
screws match the holes on the support plate.
2.
Twist each of the four screws with a Phillips (cross) screwdriver just enough to attach
the CPU heatsink and fan to the motherboard. When the four screws are attached,
tighten them one by one to completely secure the CPU heatsink and fan.
Do not forget to connect the CPU heatsink and fan connector. Hardware monitoring errors
can occur if you fail to plug this connector.
Tighten the four heatsink screws in a diagonal sequence.
