The Intel

®

 LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan 

assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

•  When you buy a boxed Intel

®

 processor, the package includes the CPU fan 

and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you 

use only Intel

®

-certified multi-directional heatsink and fan.

•  Your Intel

®

 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design 

and requires no tool to install.

Make sure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before you 

install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. 

Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is closest to 

the CPU fan connector.

To install the CPU heatsink and fan

1.  Place the heatsink on top of the 

installed CPU, making sure that the 

four fasteners match the holes on 

the motherboard.

2.  Push down two fasteners at a time 

in a diagonal sequence to secure 

the heatsink and fan assembly in 

place.

If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensure that the 

Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU 

before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
