Installation of the Heatsink
1. Locate the CPU Fan on the mother-
board. (Refer to the layout on the right
for the CPU Fan location.)
2. Position the heatsink so that the
heatsink fan wires are closest to the
CPU fan and are not interfered with
other components.
3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires to make
sure that the wires are routed through
the bottom of the heatsink.
4. Remove the thin layer of the protec-
tive film from the copper core of the
heatsink.
Warning: CPU may overheat if the
protective film is not removed from the
heatsink.
5. Apply the proper amount of thermal
grease on the CPU. Note: if your heat-
sink came with a thermal pad, please
ignore this step.
6. If necessary, rearrange the wires
to make sure that the wires are not
pinched between the heatsink and the
CPU. Also make sure to keep clear-
ance between the fan wires and the
fins of the heatsink.
7. Align the four heatsink fasten-
ers with the mounting holes on the
motherboard. Gently push the pairs of
diagonal fasteners (#1 & #2, and #3 &
#4) into the mounting holes until you
hear a click. Note: Make sure to orient
each fastener so that the narrow end
of the groove points outward.
