Intel Pentium 4 Processor Family
Cooling Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management
becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal
environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper
thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and
concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of
heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of
thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of
heatsinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors. Note, those heatsinks are
recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this collection
is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support Intel processors.

2-3-2 About Intel Pentium 4 LGA775 CPU
This motherboard provides a 775-pin surface mount, LGA775 Land Grid Array socket,
referred to as the LGA775 socket supports Intel Pentium 4 processor in the 775 Pin package
utilizes Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA4) package technology.
The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent
overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on
your system.
WARNING!
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heatsink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may
cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install
an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the LGA775 socket
and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched
corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of
the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.
LGA775
Colden Arrow
When you put the CPU into the LGA775 socket. No force require to insert of the CPU, then
press the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.

2-3-3 LGA 775 CPU Installation Guide
Socket Preparation
1. Opening the socket:
Note: Apply pressure to the corner with right hand thumb while opening/closing the load lever,
otherwise lever can bounce back like a “mouse trap” and WILL cause bent contacts (when
loaded)
Socket Load
Plate Open
i. Disengage Load Lever by depressing down and
out on the hook to clear retention tab
ii. Rotate Load Lever to fully open position at
approximately 135degrees
iii. Rotate Load Plate to fully open position at
Socket Load
Lever Open
approximately 100degrees
2. Remove PnP Cap (Pick & Place Cap)
i. With left hand index finger and thumb to support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap with right
hand thumb and peel the cap from LGA775 Socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to assist in
removal.
ii. Set PnP cap aside. Always put PnP cap back on if the processor is removed from the socket.
iii. Visually inspect PnP cap for damage. If damage observed, replace the PnP cap.
Note: After PnP cap removal, make sure socket
load plate and contacts are free of foreign
material; Refer to Overview Module for FM
cleaning.
Note: Optionally, remove PnP cap after CPU insertion.
This will compromise the ability to visually
inspect socket.

3. Visually inspect for bent contacts (Recommend at least 1stpass visual inspection)
NOTE: Refer to the Handling and Inspection Module for 1stand 2ndpass inspection details.
NOTE: Glove images are for illustrative purposes only. Please consult local safety guidelines for
specific requirements
NOTE: Recommend not to hold the load plate as a lever, instead hold at tab with left hand, removing
the PnP cap with right hand
775-land LGA Package Insertion
Press to remove
Pin 1 Indicator
Alignment Key
1. Lift processor package from shipping media by
grasping the substrate edges ONLY.
Note: Orient processor package such that the Pin 1
triangle mark is on bottom left and both key
notches are on left side
2. Land Side Cover Handling: Remove land side cover
with the opposite hand by depressing larger
retention tab and peeling the cover away
3. Set and reserve the land side cover aside.
Note: Always keep the land side cover on the
processor when not in the socket.
4. Visually inspect the package gold pads: Scan the
processor package gold pad array for presence of
foreign material. Refer to Overview Module for FM
cleaning recommendations
5. Orient the package with IHS up. Locate Pin 1 and
the two orientation key notches
6. Carefully place the package into the socket body
using a purely vertical motion
CAUTION: Using Vacuum Pen for installation is not recommended
7. Verify that package is within the socket body and
properly mated to the orient keys
8. Close the socket by
i. Rotating the Load Plate onto the package HIS
ii. While pressing down lightly on Load Plate, engage
the Load Lever.
iii. Securing Load Lever with Load Plate tab under
retention tab of Load Lever

775-Land Package Removal
1. Open the Load Plate/Lever with both hands:
With left hand index finger and thumb to support
the load plate edge, engage PnP cap with right hand
thumb and peel the cap from LGA775 Socket while
pressing on center of PnP cap to assist in removal.
2. Pick up 775-land LGA package:
By Vacuum Pen: Place a minimum 9-mm cup at
approximately the center of IHS.
Recommend not to place Vacuum Pen on IHS edge.
Risk of dropping and causing bent contact.
Recommend not to use Vacuum Pen for inserting

5. Visually inspect socket contact array
1. First Pass Inspection
i. Scan socket contact array at varying angles noting the presence of any foreign material
ii. If foreign material can’t be blown off by compressed air, or mechanical damage (Mode1 or 4)
observed, reject the motherboard for further evaluation or socket replacement.
2. Second Pass Inspection
i. Repeat 2 more times to sight down the rows and columns from each of the 4 sides of the socket to
ensure all contacts within the array are inspected
ii. Inspect for Mode2, Mode3, and Mode5 failures
Note: Refer to the Test Module for detail visual inspections
