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.
Fig.2
A gold-colored triangle is marked one edge of the CPU. Please align this
edge with the socket edge closest to the CPU lever. Gently place the CPU
into position making sure that the CPU pins fit perfectly into their holes.
Once the CPU is positioned into it socket, place one finger down on the
middle of the CPU and gently press the metal lever back into its original
position.
Please use extra care when installing the CPU. The CPU will not fit if positioned incorrectly.
Rather than applying force, please change the positioning of the CPU.
