15. NV7 133R Installing the Motherboard 2 3 Heatsink Installation Hints Because the processor will produce a lot of heat while operating we suggest you use a heatsink approved by AMD to be safe and to keep the processor temperature within normal operation temperatures The heatsink will be large and heavy so the fixing plate has a strong tension When you install the heatsink on to the processor and its socket you have to very carefully fix the fixing plate to the processor socket hook on both sides If you do not pay attention to this you may make the fixing plate scratch the PCB surface and cause circuit damage break socket hooks or damage the die on the top of processor Please follow the sequence metioned below Do Not inverse the sequence Otherwise you may have a situation like the photo on the left Because of the design of the CPU socket the left side hooks are not as strong as the right side hooks If you follow our suggestions you will prevent your processor and socket from damage Considering the chassis structure problem please always take off the motherboard from chassis before adding or removing a heatsink kit First install the processor into the processor socket Insert the heatsink left side fix plate into the processor socket left side fix hooks Make sure the fit is very tight Check the photo on the left User s Manual NV7 133R Chapter 2 Insert a flat screwdriver into the middle slot of t
