Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make
sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be
sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU
and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
When replacing the CPU, always turn off the system's power supply and unplug
the power supply's power cord to ensure the safety of the CPU.
