ASUS P4T User’s Manual

3. HARDWARE SETUP

1. Open the retaining clips. Place the

heatsink on the CPU. The heatsink

should entirely cover the CPU. The

plastic heatsink support braces have

built-in retaining clips, right. Close and

snap the clips into the locked position.

With the added weight of the CPU fan

and heatsink locking brace, no extra

force is required to keep the CPU in

place.

2. Connect the CPU fan cable to the fan connector. (See 3.1 Motherboard

Layout / 3.8 Connectors).

Step 2: Mount the Heatsink:

CAUTION! Take care not to scrape the motherboard surface when

mounting a clamp-style processor fan, or else damage may occur. When

mounting a heatsink onto your CPU, make sure that exposed CPU

capacitors do not touch the heatsink, or else damage may occur! Refer

to heatsink/CPU documentation.

WARNING! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the

processor’s heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working.

Without sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage

both the processor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary

fan, if necessary.
