CPU & Heatsink Installation

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

Video Demonstration

Watch the video to learn how to install CPU & heatsink.

http://youtu.be/bf5La099urI

. Push the load lever down to unclip it and lift to the fully open position.

2. The load plate will automatically lift up as the load lever is pushed to the fully
open position.

Important

Do not touch the socket contacts or the bottom of the CPU.

3. Align the notches with the socket alignment keys. Lower the CPU straight down,
without tilting or sliding the CPU in the socket. Inspect the CPU to check if it is
properly seated in the socket.

4. Close and slide the load plate under the retention knob. Close and engage the
load lever.

5. When you press down the load lever the PnP cap will automatically pop up from
the CPU socket. Do not discard the PnP cap. Always replace the PnP cap if the
CPU is removed from the socket.

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

English

7. Locate the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

8. 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.

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

0. Inspect the motherboard to ensure that the fastener-ends have been properly

locked in place.

. Finally, attach the CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

Thermal paste

Important

Con󰘰rm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting

your system.
Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by

•

covering the socket with the plastic cap.
If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the

•

documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

JPWR~2: ATX Power Connectors

These connectors allow you to connect an ATX power supply. To connect the ATX
power supply, align the power supply cable with the connector and 󰘰rmly press the
cable into the connector. If done correctly, the clip on the power cable should be

The fan power connectors support system cooling fans with +2V. If the motherboard
has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed
fan with a speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control. Remember to
connect all system fans. Some system fans may not connect to the motherboard and
will instead connect to the power supply directly. A system fan can be plugged into
any available system fan connector.

Center utility can be installed to automatically control the fan speeds according to
the CPU’s and system’s temperature.

If there are not enough ports on the motherboard to connect all system fans,

adapters are available to connect a fan directly to a power supply.
Before 󰘰rst boot up, ensure that there are no cables impeding any fan blades.
