Install the MCX4000
-T
assembly onto your processor, as shown on
figure 6.
Gradually tighten the screws
in a crisscross pattern until you feel that
th
ey reach the bottom of the standoff. A “finger
-
tight” lock is sufficient.
Conversely, adjustments such as tightening the screws only partially are
strictly prohibited
. Such attempts will result in improper contact between
the CPU core and the heat sink,
and result in CPU overheating.
To further prevent condensation to occur behind the motherboard, a
neoprene sticker is provided with your MCX4000
-T
accessories
.
Apply it to the back of the motherboard, directly behind the
processor.
Now, you can re
-
install the MB inside the case.

If you run
your computer unattended for extended periods of
time, it is also a good practice to setup an alarm temperature,
which will shut down the computer in case the CPU overheats.
Such alarm/shut down process should be tested as functional.
