4. Place the MCX462-V heatsink over the CPU as shown in the schematic below. The large step side
MUST be located over the socket cam box. A label affixed to the base of the heatsink clearly identifies
which side this is.

are properly aligned to fit snuggly underneath the tabs.
- Gradually loosen (counterclockwise) each screw-spring assembly to release the spring tension,
checking that the clips remain engaged underneath the tabs.
- Continue backing off until the head of the screw completely clears the top of the bracket as shown
in the picture to the right ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Æ
- Double-check to ensure that the clips have remained underneath the tabs.

III. Final inspection
DISCLAIMER: Swiftech assumes no liability whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products.
Now that the heat sink is installed, startup your computer, go into the BIOS and observe the CPU temperature. CPU temperature is
completely dependant on ambient temperature inside the case, type of fan used, and processor frequency. At the lowest air flow level,
the MCX462-V heatsink should never exceed AMD’s specifications, as defined in the link below:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/23794.pdf
In all cases, and irrespective of any of the factors listed above, processor temperature should never exceed 65°C as you monitor the
temperature in the Bios. If it does, shut down the computer immediately, and review your entire installation. Troubleshooting help is
available on our web site at www.swiftnets.com
, or by calling customer support at 562-595-8009.
