CPU Installation Procedure The following illustration shows CPU installation components. 1 Install your CPU. Pull up the lever away from the socket and lift up to 90-degree angle. 2 Locate the CPU cut edge (the corner with the pin hold noticeably missing). Align and insert the CPU correctly. 3 Press the lever down and apply thermal grease on top of the CPU. 4 Put the CPU Fan down on the retention module and snap the four retention legs of the cooling fan into place. 5 Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place and connect the CPU cooling Fan power cable to the CPUFAN connector. This completes the installation. 6 Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place and connect the CPU cooling Fan power cable to the CPUFAN connector. This completes the installation. 7 Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place and connect the CPU cooling Fan power cable to the CPUFAN connector. This completes the installation. 1. To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/ heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary. 2. DO NOT remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a CPU. 3. Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket. 65

CPU Installation Procedure
The following illustration shows CPU installation components.
1
Install your CPU. Pull up the lever away from the
socket and lift up to 90-degree angle.
2
Locate the CPU cut edge (the corner with the pin
hold noticeably missing). Align and insert the CPU
correctly.
3
Press the lever down and apply thermal grease
on top of the CPU.
4
Put the CPU Fan down on the retention module
and snap the four retention legs of the cooling fan
into place.
5
Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place
and connect the CPU cooling Fan power cable to
the CPUFAN connector. This completes the
installation.
6
Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place
and connect the CPU cooling Fan power cable to
the CPUFAN connector. This completes the
installation.
7
Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in place
and connect the CPU cooling Fan power cable to
the CPUFAN connector. This completes the
installation.
1. To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest
that you use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least. CPU fan and
heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/
heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.
2. DO NOT remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a
CPU.
3. Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted
only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.
