Action
Maintain light pressure on the Load Plate when closing and securing the Load Lever.
Apply thermal paste to the exposed top of the processor.
Note:
Most heatsinks ship with pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM). You
can skip this step if your new heatsink has pre-applied TIM AND you are
installing the heatsink for the first time. You must use thermal paste on
previously installed heatsinks and heatsinks without pre-applied TIM.
Action
Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with
those on the (preinstalled) heatsink retention mechanism.
Screw in two diagonal screws (for example, the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug.
Do not fully tighten the screws or you may damage the CPU.
Add the two remaining screws then finish the installation by fully tightening all four
screws.
