1-3-2 Installation of the Fan Heat Sink
The heat sink may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heat sink paste. To prevent
such an occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape rather than heat sink paste be used for
heat dissipation or using extreme care when removing the heat sink.
Fig.1
Before installing the fan heat sink, please first add an even layer of heat
sink paste on the surface of the CPU. Install all the fan heat sink
components (Please refer to the heat sink manual for detailed installation
instructions).

Please connect the fan heat sink power connector to the CPU_FAN
connector located on the motherboard so that the heat sink can properly
function to prevent CPU overheating.
