Installation Of The Heatsink - Gigabyte Intel Pentium 4 Processor Motherboard GA-8VM800M User Manual

1-3-2 Installation of the Heatsink

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