Attention
The Intel mounting clips have two sets of mounting holes, please select the correct holes for your platform.
Attention
Please be careful when remove the dust cover and check the socket orientation. Look at the socket closely and see if the pins are intact. The damaged socket may cause an unbootable system.
Check your socket orientation
Please note that installing an LGA4189/ LGA4677 processor and heatsink requires a plastic CPU carrier such as the one shown above. These carriers are included with boxed retail CPUs or Motherboard and available separately via Intel sales partners for tray type CPUs.
Contact ARCTIC Support if the LGA4189 CPU Carrier are not available on your product version.
Line up Pin1 Marking on CPU carrier to outlet airflow arrow on Heatsink
Make sure all locking tabs are properly attached to heatsink
Align Pin1 marking on CPU carrier to Pin1 marking on CPU
Make sure all locking tabs are properly attached to CPU.
Warning
Unsecured locking tabs may drop the CPU and cause damage to the CPU or the motherboard
