1.4.2 Installing the CPU Heatsink and Fan
The AMD Athlon 64 x 2 / Athlon 64 / Sempron processor requires a specially designed
heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
z Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU
fan and heatsink assembly.
z When you buy a boxed AMD processor, the package includes the
CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately,
make sure that you use only qualified heatsink and fan assembly.
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the fits properly on
the retention module base.
z The retention module base is already installed on the
motherboard upon purchase.
z You do not have to remove the retention module base when
installing the CPU or installing other motherboard components.
z If you purchase a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly,
make sure that a Thermal interface material is properly applied to
the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan
assembly.
Your boxed CPU heatsink and fan assembly should come with
installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and retention
mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU
documentation, follow the latter.
