S UPER P3TDLR User's Manual 2. Attaching heat sinks to the processors: Two passive heat sinks (one for each processor) have been included with your SUPER P3TDLR. Secure a heat sink to each processor with a suitable thermal compound to best conduct the heat from the processor to the heat sink. Make sure that you apply the compound evenly and that good contact is made between the CPU chip (the die) and the heat sink. Insufficient contact or improper types of heat sinks and thermal com- pounds can cause the processor to overheat, which may crash the system. 4. Removing the processors: To remove the processors from the motherboard, simply follow the installation process in reverse order.
