5.Secure the Heatsink: Install the heatsink support base into the motherboard. This is not, however, necessary if you use a heatsink with fan (see next page). The support base is necessary to secure the heatsink (without fan). Secure the heatsink by sliding the heatsink support top bar into the bottom groove of the heatsink until it locks into the heatsink support base posts.
