Your boxed CPU heatsink and fan assembly should come with
installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention
mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU
documentation, follow the latter.
The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard.
You do not have to remove the retention module base when
installing the CPU or installing other motherboard components.
If you purchased a separate CPU fan and heatsink assembly, make
sure that a thermal interface material is properly applied to the CPU
surface or the heatsink bottom before you install the CPU fan and
heatsink assembly.
