2.4 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink
This motherboard is equipped with 1155-Pin socket that supports Intel 1155-Pin
CPUs. Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 1155-
Pin CPU to dissipate heat. Before you install the heatsink, you need to spray ther-
mal interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipa-
tion. Ensure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good con-
tact with each other. Then connect the CPU fan to the CPU_FAN connector (CPU_
FAN1, see p.2, No. 3 or CPU_FAN2, see p.2, No. 4).
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 1155-Pin CPUs.
Step 1.
Apply thermal interface material onto the cen-
ter of the IHS on the socket's surface.
Step 2.
Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure
that the fan cables are faced on the side clos-
est to the CPU fan connector on the mother-
board (CPU_FAN1, see p.2, No. 3 or CPU_
FAN3, see p.2, No. 4).
Step 3.
Align fasteners with the motherboard through-
holes.
Step 4.
Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press the
fastener caps down with your thumb to install
and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.
If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise, the
heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.
Step 5.
Connect CPU fan connector with the fan header on the motherboard.
Step 6.
Secure redundant cable with tie-wrap to ensure that the cable does not
interfere with the fan's operation or contact other components.
