4. If you are using the same heatsink, apply the full content of the thermal grease syringes on top of the processor. Follow the pattern
shown in the following image.
5. If you are using a new heatsink, remove the thermal interface protective cover from the heatsink.
6. Install the heatsink:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
To prevent mechanical damage or depositing oil on your hands or other contaminant to the heatsink contact surface,
hold the heatsink only by the edge of its base plate. Do not touch the heatsink fins.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
To prevent thermal failure or component damage, do not move the heatsink once the bottom of its base plate touches
the top of the processor. Excessive heatsink movement can cause the thermal grease to smear and become uneven.
Voids in the compound can adversely impact the transfer of heat away from the processor.
