Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.
Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e., the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug
(do not over-tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)
Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are
aligned with those on the Motherboard's and the Heatsink Bracket under-
neath.
