The following diagrams and instructions apply to the installation of LGA775-based Intel® Processors and the boxed fan-heatsink. Instructions presume that the fan-heatsink is new and has the factory applied thermal interface material applied to the bottom of the fan-heatsink.

If the process outlined below does non accost your question, see the following below documents almost the installation procedure:

Your processor may or may not come with a processor embrace. LGA775-based processors initially shipped with a processor encompass. Later LGA775-based processors arrive in the plastic aircraft example without the comprehend.

Installation process

Open the socket lever by pushing lever downwardly and away from the socket (A). Elevator the lever (B).
Open the load plate (C). Do not touch the socket contacts (D).
Remove the protective cover (Due east) from the load plate. Do non discard the protective cover. Always replace the socket cover if the processor is removed from the socket.
Remove the processor from the protective cover. Hold the processor simply at the edges. Do not bear on the lesser of the processor. Do not discard the protective cover. Ever supersede the processor embrace if the processor is removed from the socket.
Hold the processor with your thumb and index fingers, oriented as shown. Ensure your fingers align to the socket cutouts (F). Align the notches (G) with the socket (H). Lower the processor straight downwardly without tilting or sliding the processor in the socket.
Close the load plate. Press down on the load plate (I) to close and engage the socket lever (J).
With the motherboard installed in the chassis, place the fan-heatsink onto the motherboard. You lot must align the fasteners through the holes properly, or you risk damaging the lesser of the fasteners. Do not harm the thermal interface material (TIM) attached to the bottom of the fan-heatsink.
Push downwards on the summit of each fastener while belongings the fan heat sink in identify. You should hear a "click" when pushing down each fastener. Check that all four fasteners are deeply attached past gently pulling upwardly on each fastener. An unattached fastener prevents a expert seal between the fan-heatsink and processor and tin can result in unreliable processor operation.
Connect the processor 4-wire fan cable connector to the motherboard iv-pivot CPU fan header. (The processor 4-wire fan cablevision connector can be continued to a motherboard 3-pin CPU fan header if a 4-pin CPU fan header is unavailable.)
