Installation of the Heatsink
1. Locate the CPU Fan on the
motherboard. (Refer to the layout
on Page 1-4 for the CPU Fan
location.)
2. Position the heatsink in such a
way that the heatsink fan wires
are closest to the CPU fan and
are not interfered with other
components
3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires to
make sure that the wires are routed
through the bottom of the heatsink.
4. Remove the thin layer of the
protective film from the copper core
of the heatsink.
(*Warning: CPU overheat may occur
if the protective film is not removed
from the heatsink.)
5. Apply the proper amount of
thermal grease on the CPU. (*Note:
if your heatsink came with a
thermal pad, please ignore this
step.)
6. If necessary, rearrange the
wires to make sure that the wires
are not pinched between the
heatsink and the CPU. Also make
sure to keep clearance between the
fan wires and the fins of the
heatsink.
7. Align the four heatsink fasteners
with the mounting holes on the
motherboard. Gently push the
fasteners into the mounting holes
until you hear a "click".
