Locate the CPU Fan on the mother-
1.
board. (Refer to the layout on the right
for the CPU Fan location.)
Position the heatsink so that the
2.
heatsink fan wires are closest to the
CPU fan and are not interfered with
other components.
Inspect the CPU Fan wires to make sure
3.
that the wires are routed through the
bottom of the heatsink.
Remove the thin layer of the protec-
4.
tive fi lm from the copper core of the
heatsink.
(*
5.
Warning
: CPU overheat may occur if
the protective fi lm is not removed from
the heatsink.)
Apply the proper amount of thermal
6.
grease on the CPU. (*Note: if your
heatsink came with a thermal pad,
please ignore this step.)
If necessar y, rearrange the wires
7.
to make sure that the wires are not
pinched between the heatsink and the
CPU. Also make sure to keep clearance
between the fan wires and the fi ns of
the heatsink.
Align the four heatsink fasteners with
8.
the mounting holes on the motherboard.
Gently push the pairs of diagonal fas-
teners (#1 & #2, and #3 & #4) into
the mounting holes until you hear a
click. (*Note: Make sure to orient each
fastener so that the narrow end of the
groove is pointing outward.)
Repeat Step 6 to insert all four heatsink
9.
fasteners into the mounting holes.
