Installing the Heatsink
1. Do not apply any thermal grease
to the heatsink or the CPU die; the

aligned with those on the (preinstalled)
heatsink retention mechanism.

the #1 and the #2 screws) until just
snug. Do not fully tighten the screws
or you may damage the CPU.)
4. Add the two remaining screws then
fi nish the installation by fully tightening
all four screws.
