• Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring

errors can occur if you fail to plug this connector.

• We recommend you to install the chassis fan for better thermal state.

3. When the fan and heatsink assembly is in place, connect the CPU fan cable

to the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_FAN.

2. Push down two fasteners at a time

in a diagonal sequence to secure

the heatsink and fan assembly in

place.
