performance.

heatsink fits properly on the retention module base.

Make sure that you use only qualified heatsink and fan assembly.

• 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, make

sure 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.
