Installation Of The Heatsink - Gigabyte GA-8I865GVME User Manual

1-3-2 Installation of the Heatsink

The heat sink may adhere to the CPU as a result of hardening of the heat sink paste. To prevent
such an occurrence, it is suggested that either thermal tape rather than heat sink paste be used for
heat dissipation or using extreme care when removing the heat sink.
