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.
