GA-9IVDTMotherboard Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Before installing the processor , adhere to the following warning: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
Hardware Installation Process Step 1-2:CPU Heat Sink Installation Before installing the CPU Heat Sink , adhere to the following warning: 1.Please use Intel approved cooling fan. 2.We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and heatsink. (The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste.
