2.3.2 Installing the CPU heatsink and fan
The Intel
®
LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan
assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
• 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
®
-certied multi-directional heatsink and fan.
• Your Intel
®
LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design
and requires no tool to install.
Make sure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before you
install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is closest to
the CPU fan connector.
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.
2. Push down two fasteners at a time
in a diagonal sequence to secure
the heatsink and fan assembly in
place.

before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
