SYS_FAN
CPU_FAN (CPU Fan Power Connector); SYS_FAN (System Fan Power Connector)
The cooler fan power connector supplies a +12V power voltage via a 3-pin/4-pin(only for CPU_FAN) power
connector and possesses a ful-proof connection design. Most coolers are designed with color-coded power
connector wires. A red power connector wire indicates a positive connection and requires a +12V power
voltage. The black connector wire is the ground wire (GND). Please remember to connect the power to the
cooler to prevent system overheating and failure.
Caution!
Please remember to connect the power to the CPU fan to prevent CPU overheating and failure.

1. Please make sure that the CPU used is supported by your motherboard.
2. Please be aware of the placement position of the CPU. If the CPU does not
insert properly, do not apply force but check the placement position.
3. Please make sure that an even layer of heat sink paste is added between the
CPU and the fan sink.
4. Please do not turn on the power prior to installing the fan sink. Doing so can
result in overheating and lead to permanent damage to the CPU.
5. Please follow the CPU specifications when setting the frequency. It is not
recommended that system speed settings exceed that of hardware
specifications. If you wish to set your system speed to exceed the
recommended specifications, please check your hardware specifications eg:
CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive
The following must be supported to allow the use of Hyper-Threading Technology:
- an Intel Pentium 4 CPU with HT
- a motherboard supporting HT
- HT selection feature within BIOS
- an operating system supporting HT

3. Hold the CPU with your thumb and index fingers (do not
touch the bottom of the CPU when holding it).
Align notchs on the two sides of the CPU with the small
sockets of the CPU socket and place the CPU straight
down.
2. Open the load plate and gently remove the plastic cover.
1. Push the socket lever arm down and away from the
CPU socket and raise it up completely.
4. Make sure the CPU is properly installed and then close
the load plate. Lower the socket lever and engage it to
lock the CPU in place.
