Hardware Installation

Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. (The following procedure uses

Intel

®

boxed cooler as the example cooler.)

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.

Step 5:

After the installation, check the back of the 

motherboard. If the push pin is inserted as the 

picture above shows, the installation is complete.

Step 6:

Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU 

cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the

motherboard.

Step 1:

Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on 

the surface of the installed CPU.

Step 2:

Before installing the cooler, note the direction of the 

arrow sign

on the male push pin. (Turning the

push pin along the direction of arrow is to remove 

the cooler, on the contrary, is to install.)

Step 3:

Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the 

four push pins through the pin holes on the 

motherboard. Push down on the push pins 

diagonally.

Step 4:

You should hear a "click" when pushing down each 

push pin. Check that the Male and Female push 

pins are joined closely.

(Refer to your CPU cooler installation manual for

instructions on installing the cooler.)
