The Intel

®

 1150 processor requires a specially designed heatsink to ensure 

optimum thermal condition and performance.

1.  Peel off the sticker on the heatsink 

metal plate and affix the plate to the 

back of the motherboard, matching 

the standoffs to the heatsink screw 

holes.

2.  Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten 

the four heatsink screws using the 

recommended sequence below.

• 

Ensure that the heatsink is not skewed or tilted, otherwise the CPU will 

overheat.

•   Do not overtighten the screws. Doing so can damage the CPU.

• 

Ensure that you use qualified heatsink assembly only.

• 

Ensure that you have applied the thermal interface material to the top of the CPU 

before installing the heatsink and fan.
