1.12 Mounting the CPU and Cooling Modules
The Pentium
®
II is a module-type CPU which runs at high
speeds, for example 450 MHz, so the cooling mechanism
becomes critical for system reliability. There are two types
of cooling methods. one with a cooling fan attached to the
heat sink of the Pentium
II module, the other with a huge
heat sink without any cooling fan attached. The first of
these methods is recommended.
Both cooling methods for the Pentium II require a "retention
module" to firmly fix the Pentium
II CPU to slot 1. Figure 1-
3 illustrates the steps involved in mounting the retention
module and installing the CPU and cooling modules.
