Fig. 1

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

Please connect the heat sink power connector to the CPU _ FAN connector located on the motherboard so that the heat sink can properly function to prevent CPU overheating.

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