1.6.2 Installing the heatsink and fan

Ensure that you use only AMD-certied heatsink and fan assembly.

To install the CPU heatsink and fan:

1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, ensuring that the heatsink ts properly

on the retention module base.

• The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard upon purchase.

• You do not have to remove the retention module base when installing the CPU or

installing other motherboard components.

• If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensure that a Thermal

Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the

heatsink and fan assembly.

Your boxed CPU heatsink and fan assembly should come with installation instructions for

the CPU, heatsink, and the retention mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not

match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.

2. Attach one end of the retention bracket to the retention module base.
