2.4 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink
This motherboard is equipped with a 2011-Pin socket that supports Intel 2011-
Pin CPUs. Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel
2011-Pin CPU to dissipate heat. Before you install the heatsink, you need to spray
thermal interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dis-
sipation. Ensure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good
contact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU_FAN connector
(CPU_FAN1, see page 2, No. 7 or CPU_FAN2, see page 2, No. 8).
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your
CPU fan and heatsink.
Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 2011-Pin CPUs.
Step 1.
Apply thermal interface material onto center of
IHS on the socket's surface.
Step 2.
Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure
that the fan cables are oriented on side closest
to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard
(CPU_FAN1, see page 2, No. 7 or CPU_
FAN2, see page 2, No. 8).
Step 3.
Align screws with the motherboard's holes.
Step 4.
Use a screw driver to install the screws.
If you don't fasten the screws, the heatsink cannot be secured on
the motherboard.
Step 5.
Connect fan header with the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.
Step 6.
Secure redundant cable with tie-wrap to ensure the cable does not
interfere with fan operation or contact other components.
