2-2 Chapter 2 ™ ™ ™ 2-1. Installation of the AMD Athlon XP, Athlon and Duron CPU Note ! Installing a heatsink and cooling fan is necessary for heat to dissipate from your processor. Failing to install these items may result in overheating and processor damage. ! The AMD Socket A processor will produce a lot of heat while operating, so you need to use a large heat sink that is especially designed for the AMD socket A processor. Otherwise, it may result in overheating and processor damage

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 side
