2.5 - Heatsink Retention Frame Installation
After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to install the
retention frame and heatsink. The CPU heatsink will ensure that the processor
do not overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long
as you own them. The overheated processor is dangerous to the motherboard.
The backplate assembly prevents excessive motherboard flexing in the area
near the processor and provides a base for the installation of the heatsink
retention bracket and heatsink.
Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many
different manufacturers, a lot of them have their own methods of installation. For
the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate
heatsink, use heatsinks validated by AMD. Please refer to AMD’s website at
www.amd.com .
