Fan With Heatsink
*The fan with heatsink must be installed
with the thermal sheet (T) in soft state to
protect the CPU from the stress.
For this purpose, with the thermal sheet
(T) pasted, warm the fan with heatsink to
about 70 °C, and when the thermal sheet
(T) has become soft, install the fan with
heatsink on the main board.
