Hardware Installation Process
Step 1-2:CPU Heat Sink Installation
Before installing the CPU Heat Sink , adhere to the following warning:
1.Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
2.We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction
between your CPU and heatsink.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal
paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the
processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the
processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape
instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)
3.Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this
completes the installation.
Please refer to CPU heat sink user's manual for more detail installation procedure.
