Caution

The heatsink has Thermal Interface

Material (TIM) located on the bottom of

it. Use caution when you unpack the heat
sink so you do not damage the TIM. If you

are reusing the original heatsink, make

sure that the TIM on the bottom of the

heatsink is not damaged. If the TIM is
damaged, you should remove the old

TIM, then apply new TIM to the bottom of

the heatsink.
