P8SC8/P8SCi User's Manual

Installation of the Heatsink

1. Locate the CPU Fan on the motherboard. (Refer to the layout on Page 1-4 for the CPU Fan location.)

2.Position the heatsink in such a way that the heatsink fan wires are closest to the CPU fan and are not interfered with other components

3.Inspect the CPU Fan wires to make sure that the wires are routed through the bottom of the heatsink.

4.Remove the thin layer of the protective film from the copper core of the heatsink.

(*Warning: CPU overheat may occur if the protective film is not removed from the heatsink.)

5.Apply the proper amount of thermal grease on the CPU. (*Note: if your heatsink came with a thermal pad, please ignore this step.)

6.If necessary, rearrange the wires to make sure that the wires are not pinched between the heatsink and the CPU. Also make sure to keep clearance between the

fan wires and the fins of the heatsink.

7.Align the four heatsink fasteners with the mounting holes on the

motherboard. Gently push the fasteners into the mounting holes until you hear a "click".
