APU & Heatsink Installation
When installing an APU, always remember to install an APU heatsink. An APU
heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability. Follow
the steps below to ensure correct APU and heatsink installation. Wrong installation
can damage both the APU and the motherboard.
Video Demonstration
Watch the video to learn how to install APU & heatsink at the address
below.
http://youtu.be/s--YUBNkHc8
3. If the APU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into
the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the correct
installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your motherboard.
4. Press the APU down 󰘰rmly into the socket and close the lever. As the APU is
likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your
󰘰ngers pressing tightly on top of the APU to make sure the APU is properly and
completely embedded into the socket.
5. Evenly spread a thin layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) on the top of the
APU. This will help in heat dissipation and prevent APU overheating.
1. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to
a 90-degree angle.
2. Look for the gold arrow of the APU. The gold arrow should point as shown in the
picture. The APU can only 󰘰t in the correct orientation.
