the golden triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle.

to indicate that it is locked.

2.2 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install

a suitable heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to

spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve

heat dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely

fastened and in good contact with each other. Then connect the CPU

fan to the CPU FAN connector (CPU_FAN1, see Page 2, No. 4 or CPU_

FAN2, see Page 2, No. 5). For proper installation, please kindly refer to

the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and the heatsink.
