Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink
1. Do not apply thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required
amount has already been applied.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are
aligned with those on the motherboard and the underlying heatsink bracket.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (the #1 and #2 screws in the gure below)
until just snug. To avoid possible damage to the CPU, do not over tighten the
screws.
4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.
