CEK Heatsink Installation

Installation of the Heatsink

1. Do not apply any 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 retention mechanism.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (ie the #1
and the #2 screws) until just snug (-do not
fully tighten the screws to avoid possible
damage to the CPU.)
4. Finish the installation by fully tightening
all four screws.
To Un-install the Heatsink

the CPU or the heatsink be removed.
!
However, if you do need to uninstall
the heatsink, please follow the instruc-
tions below to uninstall the heatsink to
prevent damage done to the CPU or
the CPU socket.)
