Use extreme care 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.
1-3-2 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.)
Step 1:
Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on
the surface of the installed CPU.
Step 4:
Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU
cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the
motherboard.
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 rst 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.
