Hardware Installation
The Northbridge must be kept cool by using a heat sink. The heat
sink will dissipate heat generated by the Northbridge. Without the
heat sink, the Nor thbridge will overheat damaging both the
Northbridge and the system board.
Before you install the heat sink, you must apply a thermal paste onto
the top of the Northbridge. The thermal paste is included in the
package Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you
later place the heat sink on top of the Northbridge, the compound
will disperse evenly.
