Installing the CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance,
thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissipate heat, you need to
attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the CPU. Follow the instructions
below to install the Heatsink/Fan:
2. Position the heatsink onto the reten-
tion mechanism.
1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the mainboard.
3. Mount the fan on top of the heatsink.
Press down the fan until its four clips
get wedged in the holes of the re-
tention mechanism.
4. Press the two levers down to fasten
the fan. Each lever can be pressed
down in only ONE direction.
