Installation and Removal of the Heat Sink
CEK Heat Sink Installation
1.
Do not apply any thermal grease to the
heat sink or the CPU die; the required
amount has already been applied.
2.
Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so
that the four mounting holes are aligned
with those on the retention mechanism.
3.
Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1
and the #2 screws) until just snug (do not
over-tighten the screws, which may dam-
age the CPU.)
4.
Finish the installation by fully tightening all
four screws.

However, if you do need to uninstall the heat sink, please follow these
!
instructions to avoid damaging the CPU or the CPU socket.

2.

force when doing this!)
3.
Once the heat sink is loosened, remove it

Clean the surface of the CPU and the
heat sink to get rid of the old thermal
grease. Reapply the proper amount of
thermal grease before you re-install the
