Attaching the heatsink
So-called “boxed” or retail processor packages may already
have a fan heatsink attached. If not, you must obtain one.
There are many different types of heatsink, and the method of
attachment varies according to the manufacturer and the type
of processor package for which it is intended. The following
information is provided only as a general guide — follow
carefully any instructions provided with your particular
heatsink.
The recommended heatsinks are those with integral fans with
three-pin plugs that can be connected to the fan connector on
the motherboard (item 20 on page 10).
In all cases, make sure the heatsink is mounted tightly against
the processor package; otherwise, the processor will overheat.
Most heatsinks have some kind of thermal interface material
applied to assure good heat transfer between the package and
the heatsink. Often, there is a plastic film over the thermal
interface material to protect it during shipping. If so, ensure
that this protective cover is peeled off before attaching the
heatsink.
Warning
Thermal interface materials can cause skin irritation and
stain clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Avoid
contact with eyes and inhalation of fumes. Do not ingest.
Celeron™ processor in a SEPP (Single Edge Processor
Package)
The SEPP package has four holes through the substrate by
which you can attach a heatsink. Typically, the heatsink is
secured to the processor side of the SEPP by a heatsink clip
pushed through from the other side of the SEPP.
1.
Carefully insert all four legs of the heatsink clip through
the SEPP. Note that the heatsink clip must be on the
back (non-processor) side of the SEPP.
2.
If necessary, peel away the protective film from the
thermal interface material on the heatsink.
