Processors and heat sinks
NOTE: If you are using the Intel E5-2689
v4 (165 W) processor:
Use the following procedures when:- Using PCIe risers 1 and 3 can result in thermal errors.
- You must remove the 165 W heat sink to replace the memory module. You must also reapply the thermal paste when the heat sink is removed.
- All the cooling fans work at optimum speed to ensure sufficient cooling.
- Removing and installing a heat sink
