CAUTION: CAUTION:
To prevent thermal failure or component damage, do not move the heatsink once the bottom of its base plate
touches the top of the processor. Excessive heatsink movement can cause the thermal grease to smear and become
uneven. Voids in the compound can adversely impact the transfer of heat away from the processor.
CAUTION: CAUTION:
Heatsink screws must be tightened and loosened in alternating sequence. Do not overtighten the screws as this
might damage the system board or the processor socket.
a. Position the heatsink on top of the processor, ensuring that it is properly seated before securing the screws.
b. Use a T-20 screwdriver to tighten the captive screws in the sequence specified on the heatsink label until fully seated.
