CPU Thermal Solution
(Heatsink) Installation
It is necessary for the Intel
®
Core™ 2 Duo processor to have a thermal solution
attached to it in order to keep it within its operating temperature.
Caution:
An ESD wrist strap must be used when handling the board and installing the
heatsink/fan
assembly.
A heatsink is included in the kit. To install the heatsink:
1.
If not done already, attach the CPU fan to the top of the CPU heatsink with 4
screws. The label on the fan should face down.
2.
Remove the heatsink from its package and separate the fan heatsink portion
from the heatsink backplate.
3.
Examine the base of the heatsink, where contact with the processor die is
made. This surface should be clean of all materials and greases. Wipe the
bottom surface clean with isopropyl alcohol.
