Installing the CPU heatsink/cooler

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher

performance, thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissi-
pate heat, you need to attach the CPU heatsink/cooler on top of the CPU.
Follow the instructions below to install the heatsink/cooler:

2.

Position the heatsink/cooler onto the
retention modules. Connect the wires
to the fan powers (CFAN1/CFAN2),
then press down the fan until its four
clips get wedged in the holes of the
retention modules.

1.

Locate the CPU and its retention mod-
ules on the motherboard.

3.

Hook one end of the clip into the hole
of the retention module, then push
down the handle to hook the other
end to the retention module.

4.

Repeat step 3 on the other clip. Please
note the orientation of the handle of
heatsink/cooler for CFAN2 should be
the same as shown below to prevent
the intervention with AGP card.
