Re-install the fan onto the heatsink.
Apply the provided neoprene pads onto the chipset if applicable (see figures 1 and 2 page 1)
Fasten the heatsink onto the chipset as shown below by simply engaging one end of the hook into a motherboard retention
loop then engaging the opposite hook, and repeating the process for the second clip. Then, make sure to center the heatsink
between the arms of the wire-clips.

Finally, connect the fan to an available 3-pin power connector on the motherboard. Note that this fan does not feature an RPM
sensor. If applicable, you should therefore turn-off the Bios monitoring functions for the header in use with this fan.
