1. Attach the CPU and heat sink using silica gel to ensure full contact.
2. It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid
damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.
3. Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.
4. Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or
removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when
you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC
power supply may result in serious damage to your system or
memory module.
Warning:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of
your device.

base of the socket. Carefully insert
the CPU into the socket until it fits in
place.
When the CPU is in place, press it
firmly on the socket while you push
down the socket lever to secure the
CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab
to indicate that it is locked.
Gap in the base
Installation of CPU
Follow these steps to install the CPU.
Attention:
Push down the socket
lever to secure the CPU
Cut edge
The CPU pins must be properly aligned with the holes in the
socket, otherwise the CPU may be damaged.

2.If required, apply a light coating of
silica gel to the top of the CPU.
NOTE: The CPU heat sink may have
a pre-applied thermal compound. In
that case, the silica gel is not required.
4.Connect the fan’s power cable
to the appropriate 3-pin terminal
on the motherboard.
1.Locate the CPU retention mechanism
base (surrounds the CPU socket).
3. Attach the fan to the base.
Installation of CPU Fan
The following procedure is provided for reference only, please refer to your
CPU fan user guide for the actual procedure.
Warning:
Excessive temperature will severely damage the CPU and
system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works nor-
mally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging
to the CPU.
