Installing The CPU Cooler

Most new CPUs have a thin film of thermal paste on the top surface. If your CPU has no thermal paste then you need to apply some. This helps heat transfer  to the heatsink/cooler.  Spread the paste evenly before placing the heatsink or cooler. With the cooler in position, slip the non-levered end over the corresponding plastic hook, then repeat the process on the levered end. Finish the installation by flipping the lever to apply pressure. For a cooler as shown in the diagram Installation requires pushing each pin into the corresponding hole until a  click sound is heard. Connect cable of the cooler to the corresponding pins on the motherboard as shown in FIG 11.

Installing the motherboard.

First insert the back plate which came with the motherboard as shown in diagrams below. Be careful with the orientation, each hole must have a corresponding port on the board. Now prepare the seat of the motherboard (these are special screws that form a kind of footing or seat for the board). FIG 15. and FIG16. illustrates this. These special screws normally comes with the case when purchased. Gently place the board on the "foots" as shown in FIG. 17  and FIG 18. and firmly screw it into position.
