Installing the CPU Cooler

Refer to the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. (Actual installation process

may differ depending the CPU cooler to be used. Refer to the user's manual for your CPU cooler.)

Please pay more attention when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape

between the CPU cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler

may damage the CPU.

Step 1:

Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease

on the surface of the installed CPU.

Step 2:

Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four

mounting screws with the mounting holes on

the ILM. (If your cooler has a fan grill which may

cause interference when you tighten the screws,

remove it ﬁrst and replace it after tightening the

screws.)

Step 3:

Use one hand to hold the cooler and the other to

tighten the screws in a diagonal sequence with

a screw driver. Begin tightening a screw with a

few turns and repeat with the screw diagonally

opposite the one you just tightened. Then do the

same to the other pair. Next, fully tighten the four

screws.

Step 4:

Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU

cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the

motherboard.
