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.

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.
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.

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.
Important
Conrm that the APU cooler has formed a tight seal with the APU before booting
your system.
Please refer to the documentation in the APU cooler package for more details
about APU cooler installation.

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.
