2.2.2 Installing the CPU heatsink
TheIntel
®
LGA1151processorrequiresaspeciallydesignedCPUheatsinktoensure
optimum thermal condition and performance.
• WhenyoubuyaboxedIntel
®
processor,aspeciallydesignedCPUheatsinkora
CPUheatsinkwithaCPUfanassemblyisincludeddependingonthepackage.Ifyou
buyaCPUseparately,ensurethatyouuseonlyIntel
®
certiedmulti-directionalCPU
heatsinkorCPUheatsinkwithCPUfan.
• UseanLGA1151-compatibleCPUheatsinkandCPUfanassemblyonly.The
LGA1151socketisincompatiblewiththeLGA775andLGA1366socketsinsizeand
dimension.
OrienttheheatsinkandfanassemblysuchthattheCPUfancableisclosesttotheCPUfan
connector.
ToinstalltheCPUheatsinkandfan:
1. Placetheheatsinkontopoftheinstalled
CPU,makingsurethatthefourfasteners
matchtheholesonthemotherboard.
2. Push down two fasteners at a time in
a diagonal sequence to secure the
heatsinkandfanassemblyinplace.
IfyoupurchasedaseparateCPUheatsinkandfanassembly,ensurethattheThermal
InterfaceMaterialisproperlyappliedtotheCPUheatsinkorCPUbeforeyouinstallthe
heatsinkandfanassembly.
EnsurethatyouhaveinstalledthemotherboardtothechassisbeforeyouinstalltheCPU
fanandheatsinkassembly.
