Installing a Heatsink
An active type heatsink is used on the motherboard.
Note: You should apply thermal grease to the heatsink if it has not already been
pre-applied.
1. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned
with those on the heatsink retention mechanism.
2. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until they are just
snug. Do not fully tighten the screws or you may damage the CPU.
3. Add the two remaining screws then finish the installation by fully tightening all four
screws (be careful not to overtighten).
