1-3-2 Installation of the CPU cooler

Fig.1

Before installing the CPU cooler, please first add an even layer of heat paste on the surface of the CPU. Install all the CPU cooler components (Please refer to the heat sink manual for detailed installation instructions).

Fig.2

Please connect the CPU cooler power connector to the CPU_FAN con- nector located on the motherboard so that the CPU cooler can properly function to prevent CPU overheating.

The CPU cooler may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heat paste. To prevent such an occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape rather than heat paste be used for heat dissipation or using extreme care when removing the CPU cooler.
