Installing the CPU Heatsink and Fan

The Intel® LGA775 Core™ 2 Quad / Core™ 2 Duo CPU processors require a spe-

cially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and

performance.

Important! Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan

and heatsink assembly.

When you buy a boxed Intel® processor, the package includes the CPU

fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that

you use only Intel® certified multi-directional heatsink and fan.

Caution! If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make

sure that you have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the

CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.

Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasten-

ers match the holes on the motherboard.

Note!

Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is

closest to the CPU fan connector.

Important! Make sure each fastener is oriented as shown, with the narrow groove

directed outward.
