performance.
When you buy a boxed Intel CPU, the package includes the cooler, fan, thermal

grease, installation manual, and other items that are necessary for CPU

installation.

• Ensure that you have applied the thermal grease to the top of the CPU

before installing the heatsink and fan.

• Refer to the installation manual that came with the CPU package for details

on heatsink/fan assmbly and installation.

To install the CPU cooler and fan

1. Place the cooler on top of the

installed CPU, making sure that the

four screws match the holes on the

support plate.

The support plate only comes

with the optional CPU heatsink. If

you buy a boxed Intel CPU with a

bundled CPU fan, you can install

the CPU fan without the support

plate.
