1.6.2 Installing the CPU heatsink and fan

The Intel

LGA1155 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

LGA1155 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design and

requires no tool to install.

• Use an LGA1155-compatible CPU heatsink and fan assembly only. The LGA1155 socket

is incompatible with the LGA775 and LGA1366 sockets in size and dimension.

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

fan and heatsink assembly.

To install the CPU heatsink and fan:

1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed

CPU, ensuring 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.

Orient the heatsink and fan assembly

such that the CPU fan cable is closest to

the CPU fan connector.

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

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

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

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

the heatsink and fan assembly.
