2.3.2 Installing the CPU heatsink and fan
The Intel ® Pentium ® 4 LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink
and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, ensuring that the four
fasteners match the holes on the motherboard.
Make sure to orient each fastener with the narrow end of the groove pointing
outward.
Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is closest
to the CPU fan connector.
• Make sure that you use Intel ® -certified multi-directional heatsink and fan
only.
• Make sure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before
you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
• When you buy a boxed Intel ® Pentium ® 4 processor, the package
includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
• Your Intel ® Pentium ® 4 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a
push-pin design and requires no tool to install.
• If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure
that you have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the CPU
heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
