1.6.2 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, ensure 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.

• 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.

Ensure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU

fan and heatsink assembly.

The type of CPU heatsink and fan assembly may differ, but the installation steps and

fucntions should remain the same. The illustration above is for reference only.

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.

3. Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_FAN.

Do not forget to connect

the CPU fan connector!

Hardware monitoring errors

can occur if you fail to plug

this connector.
