CPU Fan Installation
Your Socket A processor kit comes with a cooling fan. Mount the fan on the
processor according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The
fan is a key component that will ensure system stability. The fan prevents
overheating, therefore prolonging the life of your CPU.
Note:
Remember to connect the fan to the appropriate power source.
CPU Fan Mount Procedure:
To prevent scratch or damage on the
motherboard, please follow the instructions on how to mount the CPU fan
properly.
1. Apply thermal paste to the die of the CPU.
2. Make sure that the retaining clip is in this position before trying to install
the heatsink. Notice that the clip is not symmetrical. The long end always
attaches to the top of the socket (the end that reads “Socket 462”), while
the short end engages the bottom of the socket. No matter which heatsink
is used, the clip is always installed in the same manner.
