ensuring that the gold triangle is on
the bottom-left corner of the socket
then fit the socket alignment key
into the CPU notch.
The CPU fits in only one correct
orientation. DO NOT force the
CPU into the socket to prevent
bending the connectors on the
socket and damaging the CPU!
6. Apply several drops of Thermal
Interface Material to the exposed
area of the CPU that the heatsink will
be in contact with, ensuring that it is
spread in an even thin layer.
Some heatsinks come with pre-
applied thermal paste. If so, skip
this step.
DO NOT eat the Thermal Interface Material. If it gets into your eyes or touches
your skin, ensure that you wash it off immediately, and seek professional
medical help.
To prevent contaminating the paste, DO NOT spread the paste with your finger
directly.
