"Hi! My name is Stephanie and I’m here on behalf of expertvillage.com. Please visit our web site at www.clickincomputer.com. The next thing we’re going to do is put the heat sink and fan on. There are several different types of heat sink and fans. This one just snaps on so it is pretty easy. You also want to check with this particular type that all of your posts if you will notice has a little arrow over the point. You want to turn at the opposite direction of the arrow points to make sure it is go on properly. You will line the pins up with the hole and then you snap them down. You might also want to put your hand up underneath it a little bit, make sure it goes in. The last post or two is kind of hard to snap down because it is getting tension against the board. So please be careful do not bend your motherboard. Wiggle your post, make sure they are all secure and the next thing you will want to do is plug the CPU fan into the part that is marked on the motherboard. It says CPU fan 1."
