2.4 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

®
Intel CPU requires larger heatsink and cooling fan. Thermal grease between
the CPU and the heatsink is also needed 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 9, No. 27). For proper installation, please
kindly refer to the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and heatsink vendors.
