Installation Of The Cpu Cooler - Gigabyte GA-M61SME-S2 User Manual

1-3-2 Installation of the CPU Cooler

The CPU cooler may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heat paste. To prevent
such an occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape rather than heat paste be used for
heat dissipation or using extreme care when removing the CPU cooler.
Fig.1
Before installing the CPU cooler, please first add an even layer of heat
paste on the surface of the CPU. Install all the CPU cooler components
(Please refer to the cooler manual for detailed installation instructions).
Fig.2
Please connect the CPU cooler power connector to the CPU_FAN
connector located on the motherboard so that the CPU cooler can
properly function to prevent CPU overheating.
