make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from
overheating. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste
(or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat
dissipation.

While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug
the power supply's power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure
the safety of CPU.
