CPU Fan Installation
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance,
thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissipate heat, you
MUST attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the CPU.
Overheating will cause serious damage to the CPU and system. Ensure the
cooling fan and heatsink work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
Follow the instructions below to install the Heatsink/Fan:
1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the mainboard.
2. Position the heatsink and fan
onto the retention mechanism.
3. Mount the fan on top of the
heatsink. Press down the fan
firmly until its four clips become
wedged in the holes of the reten-
tion mechanism.
