Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

This motherboard adopts 462-pin CPU socket to support AMD Athlon
XP / Duron CPU. It requires larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissi-
pate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease between the CPU
and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure 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 7/page 8, No. 2). For proper installation,
please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and the
heatsink.
