How do I install the CPU heatsink?
The CPU heatsink is used to heat the CPU. Radiator on the stable operation of the CPU plays a decisive role in the assembly of computers to choose a good radiator is very important.
Below, this article teaches you not to ask for a computer installed.
Installing the CPU heatsink is a fundamental task, but due to the cumbersome and tedious installation of middle and high-end CPU, it is not easy for most novice players. If you are replacing the CPU thermal grease, you must remove and install the heatsink in order to perform this routine maintenance work.
Unlike the primary radiator, the advanced radiator is based on the perfect mounting base, so the design benefits from the heat sink and the CPU engagement more closely and stable. Under the premise of larger large area heat sinks and multiple heat pipes, more stable base can be more stable, especially in the chassis will affect the main point of the motherboard. In order to ensure the cooling effect and stability, it is necessary to install the heatsink well.
Heatsink Installation First step: installation of thermal buckle
CPU Fastener Accessories
The figure above is a CPU fastener accessories diagram, you can see that the CPU heatsink buckle is made up of fasteners and all kinds of screws. Before installing on the motherboard, first install the fixing screws to the clip.
CPU clips are installed from the back of the motherboard
When installing the fixing screws, be sure to recognize the front of the base and install a rubber or plastic partition on the front of the fastener for insulation. If the installation is reversed, its consequences will be directly to the motherboard short-circuit, causing the motherboard and CPU damage.
Install heatsink Board Fastener
On the front of the motherboard, connect the screws of the heatsink fastener with the retention clips, and fasten them with the attached nuts. In this way, the CPU fastener installation has been accomplished.
Heatsink Installation Part II: Radiator Installation
After installing the fastener, what we need to do is to install the heatsink properly. Because the two-tower radiator is often the default with two cooling fans, so its installation procedures are more demanding accuracy.
Fixed fastener for Radiator base
After installing the fastener, we connect the clip on the radiator to the fastener that was installed on the motherboard. Because the double tower type radiator chain Contact point is in the center, must not install the central cooling fan first.
Lock the heatsink retention screws Tight
After installing the radiator, we will buckle the fan on the radiator heatsink, which should be noted that in the central cooling fan installation must first confirm the buckle direction, to avoid installation errors.
Done!
Summary: Radiator Installation Although simple, careful the most important
To a DIY player's point of view, the CPU heatsink installation relative to the full machine water-cooled cooling system, video card SLI These higher-order play is significantly simpler, and now the modular design will be difficult to install a large reduction. Not only is the radiator installation, including DIY all play, careful is the most important element, many hardware problems are often due to a screw installation is not tight, an accessory installation errors caused by careless problems.
