2.2.3Support kits for the motherboard
For additional protection from motherboard breakage due to the weight of the CPU heatsinks, your motherboard package comes with CEK springs that you can use as weight support. Install the CEK springs before installing the motherboard.
We strongly recommend you use SSI CEB 1.1 compliant chassis. Otherwise, the CPU cooler cannot be mounted on the chassis.
Each CEK spring has four hooks to match the designated holes around the CPU area.
