2.2Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink.

Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU. Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center

of IHS on the socket surface.

Step 2.

Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure

 

fan cables are oriented on side closest to the
