The following diagram will illustrate how to install the most common heatsinks:
Install the mounting bracket onto the motherboard by
aligning the bracket with the four holes around the
processor socket. Once the bracket is aligned, press
down on the four white pegs on the bracket until they
insert
securely,
locking
the
bracket
onto
the
motherboard. Then proceed to installing the heatsink.
Instructions on how to install heatsinks should be
provided with the heatsink itself.
First, use thermal compound (also called heatsink
compound or thermal grease) and apply a small amount
on to the processor's core – the small shiny square in
the center of the processor.
Then, at an angle, clip one side of the heatsink onto the
socket and then lay the heatsink flat onto the processor.
Then clip the other end of the heatsink down by using a
flathead screwdriver.
Some heatsinks have a small clip on the inside of one of
the clips which you can insert a sm all flathead screw
driver into to secure the heatsink.
Because one side of the socket is raised (and usually
has "SOCKET" imprinted into it) heatsinks have an
indent on one side to secure flush with the raised side of
the socket.
Be sure to carefully obs erve which side your heatsink is
seated before securing it down to avoid damaging the
processor, the heatsink or both.
Finishing Installing the Heatsink
After you finish installing the heatsink onto the processor and socket, attach the end wire of the
fan (which should already be attached to the heatsink) to the motherboard. The following diagram
illustrates how to connect fans onto the motherboard.
After you have finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD -ROM
drives, etc.) to your motherboard.
