Installing the CPU heatsink and fan

Intel

LGA775 processors require a specially designed heatsink and fan

assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

To install the CPU heatsink and fan:

1. Place the heatsink on top of

the installed CPU, making sure

that the four fasteners match

the holes on the motherboard.

When you buy a boxed Intel

processor, the package includes the

CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make

sure that you use only Intel

-certified multi-directional heatsink and

fan.

•

Your Intel

LGA775 processor heatsink and fan assembly comes in a

push-pin design and requires no tool to install.

•

If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make

sure that you have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the

CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan

assembly.

Make sure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before

you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.

Make sure to orient each fastener with the narrow end of the groove

pointing outward. (The photo shows the groove shaded for emphasis.)

Orient the heatsink and fan

assembly such that the CPU

fan cable is closest to the

CPU fan connector.
