For additional protection from motherboard breakage due to the weight of
the CPU heatsinks, your motherboard package comes with CEK springs that
you can use as weight support. Install the CEK springs before installing the
motherboard.
To install the CEK spring:
1. Locate the CPU heatsink holes
on the motherboard.
2. Position the CEK spring
underneath the motherboard,
then match the CEK spring
hooks to the CPU1 heatsink
holes.
