The Intel ® Pentium ® 4 Processor requires a specially designed heatsink and
fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

CPU heatsink
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.
• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only
Intel
® -certified heatsink and fan.
• 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.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure
that a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink
or CPU before installing the heatsink and fan assembly.
