family CPUs with a speed of

600 MHz and higher require larger heatsink and cooling fan. Thermal grease

between the CPU and the heatsink is also needed to improve heat transfer.

Make sure 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 page 7, No. 2).  For proper installation, please kindly refer to

the instruction manuals of the CPU fan and heatsink vendors.
