Step 2.
If you use a new heat sink, the thermal grease is pre-applied to the heat sink. Remove the
protective cover and install the heat sink.
Step 3.
Orient the heat sink with the screw holes on the processor plate. The captive screws on the heat
sink should align with the screw holes on the processor plate. Tighten all the captive screws in the
installation sequence shown on the heat-sink label.
Note: The suggested tightening torque value is 14.0 ± 0.5 inch-pounds (1.525 – 1.638 newton
meters).
