2.4.3 Installing the CPU fan and heatsink assembly
The Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink
and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
• When you buy a boxed Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 processor, the package
includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately,
make sure that you use only Intel
®
-certified multi-directional heatsink and
fan.
• Your Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a
push-pin design and requires no tool to install.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that
the Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU
before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
