Using the supplied syringe, evenly apply all of the TIM in an "S" pattern centered
on the top of the processor.
Keep the "S" pattern inside a half inch of the processor edge so the TIM doesn't

Note:
Do not distribute the TIM. The pressure of the heatsink will do so for you
when you install the heatsink.
Carefully lower the heatsink on to the six socket heatsink attachment studs.
