Installation of CPU Fan
New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies. To
avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example, overheating,
you need to install the proper fan. The following procedures are provided for
reference only, please refer your CPU fan user guide to install it.
2. If required, apply a light coating
of silica gel to the top of the CPU.
NOTE: The CPU heatsink may have a
pre-applied thermal compound. In that
case, the silica gel is not required.
4. Connect the power fan’s power
cable to the appropriate 3-pin
connector on the motherboard.
Note :
Excessive temperatures will severely damage the CPU and
system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works normally
at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging to the
CPU.
