1.6.2 I nstalli ng the CPU heatsi nk and fan

The Intel® Pentium® 4 /Pentium® D LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

•Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan

and heatsink assembly.

•When you buy a boxed Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, the package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.

•Your Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design and requires no tool to install it.

•Make sure that you use Intel®-certified multi-directional heatsink and

fan only.

•Make sure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.

To install the CPU heatsink and fan:

1.Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, and make sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard.

Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is closest to the CPU fan connector.
