2.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink

This motherboard is equipped with 1155-Pin socket that supports Intel

1155-Pin CPUs. Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan com-

pliant with Intel 1155-Pin CPU to dissipate heat. Before you install the

heatsink, you need to spray thermal interface material between the CPU

and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Ensure 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 p.16,

No. 4 or CPU_FAN2, see p.16, No. 3).

For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals

of your CPU fan and heatsink.

Below is an example to illustrate the installation of a heatsink and fan for

1155-Pin CPUs.

Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto the

center of the IHS on the socket’s surface.

Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. En-

sure that the fan cables are faced on the

side closest to the CPU fan connector on

the motherboard (CPU_FAN1, see p.16,

No. 4 or CPU_FAN2, see p.16, No. 3).

Step 3. Align the fasteners with the holes on the

motherboard.

Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then

press the fastener caps down with your

thumb to install and lock. Repeat with the

remaining fasteners.

If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clock-

wise, the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

Step 5. Connect the CPU fan connector with the fan header on the

motherboard.

Step 6. Secure redundant cable with tie-wrap to ensure that the cable

does not interfere with the fan’s operation or contact other

components.
