WARNING! Do not insert the sensor between the processor and heatsink, other- wise, it will cause damage to the P2T-Cable.

IMPORTANT! ASUS guarantees accurate readings only for the ASUS Smart Fan and the Intel boxed processor heatsink with fan because both have similar heat distribution and heatsink material.

2. Connect the P2T-Cables to the CPU thermal sensor connectors (J1601/J1602).

NOTE: If you are installing only one processor, you may use the free connector to connect a power supply with thermal monitoring.

Recommended Heatsinks for Slot 1 Processors

The recommended heatsinks for the Slot 1 processors are those with three-pin fans, such as the ASUS Smart Fan, that can be connected to the motherboard’s CPU fan connector. These heatsinks, such as the Elan Vital Heatsink with Fan, dissipate heat more efficiently and with an optional hardware monitor, they can monitor the fan’s RPM and use the alert function with the Intel LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM) and the ASUS PC Probe software.

Elan Vital Heatsink with Fan

To install, simply follow the procedures for Installing the Processor. The Elan Vital heatsink, however, comes with a lever to clamp the heatsink into the SEC cartridge. Mount the heatsink in the orientation as shown then flip the lever from “Unlock” to “Lock.”
