When you buy a boxed Intel CPU, the package includes the heatsink, fan, retention brackets, screws, thermal grease, installation manual, and other items that are necessary for CPU installation. 1. Perform the installation steps 1 to 3 in this section before installing you motherboard into the chassis. 2. Make sure that you have applied the thermal grease to the top of the CPU before installing the heatsink and fan. 3. Refer to the installation manual that came with the CPU package for details on heatsink/fan assembly and installation. To install the CPU heatsink and fan: 1. With the motherboard on a flat stable surface (such as a table), place the thermal plate underneath a CPU socket, matching the standoffs on the plate with the four holes around the CPU socket.
