Make sure heatsink with fan assembly is mounted properly on the CPU to avoid burning the CPU and/or CPU socket!
3.When the heatsink and fan assembly is in place, connect the fan cable plug to the fan connector on the motherboard labeled CPUFAN1.
The fan cable plug is slotted so it fits only in one orientation. If it doesn’t fit completely, try reversing it.
Make sure that the heatsink and fan assembly is stable in place and the fan power cable plug is properly connected.
Don’t forget to connect the CPU fan cable plug. Hardware monitoring errors may occur if you fail to plug the fan cable.
