when you unpack the heat sink so you do not damage the TIM.
2. Set the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws with the four posts
surrounding the processor.
3. Loosely screw in the captive screws on the heat sink corners in a diagonal manner. Do not fully
tighten one screw before tightening another.
