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 connector
located on the motherboard so that the heat sink can properly function to
prevent CPU overheating.
