2.4.3 Installing the heatsink and fan

The Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 Processor requires a specially designed heatsink

and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

Retention Module Base

CPU Heatsink

The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard
upon purchase.

You do not have to remove the retention module base when installing
the CPU or installing other motherboard components.

Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink and fan.

1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the

heatsink fits properly on the retention module base.

When you buy a boxed Intel Pentium 4 Processor, the package
includes the heatsink, fan, and retention mechanism.

In case you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel
certified heatsink and fan.

Your boxed Intel Pentium 4 Processor package should come with
installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention
mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU
documentation, follow the latter.
