1. Locate the CPU Fan power con-
nector on the motherboard. (Refer to
the layout on the right for the CPU
Fan location.)
2. Position the heatsink so that the
heatsink fan wires are closest to the
CPU fan power connector and are not
interfered with other components.
3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires to
make sure that the wires are routed
through the bottom of the heatsink.
4. Remove the thin layer of the
protective film from the copper core of
the heatsink.
(Warning: CPU may overheat if the
protective film is not removed from
the heatsink.)
5. Apply the proper amount of thermal
grease on the CPU. (Note: if your
heatsink came with a thermal pad,
please ignore this step.)
6. If necessary, rearrange the wires
to make sure that the wires are not
pinched between the heatsink and the
CPU. Also make sure to keep clear-
ance between the fan wires and the
fins of the heatsink.
