CPU Socket CPU0 ⚠ Important Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the ∙ cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
CPU & Heatsink Installation Use appropriate ground straps, gloves and ESD mats to protect yourself from electrostatic discharge (ESD) while installing the processor. ⚠ Important Images are for illustration purposes only; actual parts may vary. 1. Remove the screw on the top of the retention frame. 2.
