CPU (Central Processing Unit)

When you are installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to
prevent overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer
before turning on the computer.

Important

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure
the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape)
between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

Replacing the CPU

While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the

power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet rst to ensure the

safety of CPU.

Introduction to LGA 1155 CPU

The surface of LGA 1155 CPU. Remember to apply some thermal paste
on it for better heat dispersion.

CPU & Cooler Installation

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler at­tached on the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to
apply some thermal paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler
fan for better heat dispersion.

Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong instal­lation will cause damage to your CPU & mainboard.

1. Open the load lever. 2. Lift the load lever up to fully
open position.

3. After con󰘰rming the CPU

direction for correct mating,
put down the CPU in the
socket housing frame. Be
sure to grasp on the edge of
the CPU base. Note that the
alignment keys are matched.

4. Remove the plastic cap.
Engage the load lever while
pressing down lightly onto
the load plate.

Important

Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out
the CPU with pure vertical motion and reinstall.

5. Secure the lever near the
hook end under the reten­tion tab.

6. Make sure the four hooks are
in proper position before you
install the cooler. Align the
holes on the mainboard with
the cooler. Push down the
cooler until its four clips get
wedged into the holes of the
mainboard.

2-5

7. Press the four hooks down to
fasten the cooler. Turn over

the mainboard to con󰘰rm

that the clip-ends are cor­rectly inserted.

8. Finally, attach the CPU Fan
cable to the CPU fan con­nector on the mainboard.

Important

•

Con󰘰rm if your CPU cooler is 󰘰rmly installed before turning on your

system.

•

Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.

•

Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin
with the plastic cap covered to avoid damaging.

•

Please refer to the documentation in the CPU cooler package for more
details about the CPU cooler installation.
