APU & Cooler Installation

When you are installing the APU, make sure the APU has a cooler attached on the top

to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on APU

before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.

Follow the steps below to install the APU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will

cause the damage of your APU & mainboard.

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.

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

mainboard.

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.
