APU & Heatsink Installation

When installing an APU, always remember to install an APU heatsink. An APU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability. Follow the steps below to ensure correct APU and heatsink installation. Wrong installation can damage both the APU and the motherboard.

Video Demonstration

Watch the video to learn how to install APU & heatsink at the address below.

http://youtu.be/s--YUBNkHc8

1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

2. Look for the gold arrow of the APU. The gold arrow should point as shown in the picture. The APU can only 󰘰t in the correct orientation.

3. If the APU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your motherboard.

4. Press the APU down 󰘰rmly into the socket and close the lever. As the APU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your 󰘰ngers pressing tightly on top of the APU to make sure the APU is properly and completely embedded into the socket.

5. Evenly spread a thin layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) on the top of the APU. This will help in heat dissipation and prevent APU overheating.

English

6. Locate the CPUFAN connector on the motherboard.

7. Place the heatsink on the motherboard with the fan’s cable facing towards the fan connector and the fasteners matching the holes on the motherboard.

8. Align the protrusion of the push-pin with the notch of the fastener as shown in the picture. Insert the two push-pins into the two fasteners.

English

9. Push down the push-pins until the two fasteners get wedged into the holes on the motherboard. Press the two fasteners down to fasten the heatsink. As each fastener locks into position a click should be heard.

10. Inspect the motherboard to ensure that the fastener-ends have been properly locked in place.

11. Attach the fan cable to the CPUFAN connector on the motherboard.

Important

Con󰘰rm that the APU cooler has formed a tight seal with the APU before booting
