Installation of the Heatsink

1. Locate the CPU Fan on the mother-

board. (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 protec-

tive ﬁ lm from the copper core of the

heatsink.

(*Warning: CPU overheat may occur if

the protective ﬁ lm 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 ﬁ ns 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".
