6. Apply some Thermal Interface

Material to the exposed area of

the CPU that the heatsink will be

in contact with, ensuring that it is

spread in an even thin layer.

Some heatsinks come with

pre-applied thermal interface

material. If so, skip this step.

The Thermal Interface Material is

toxic and inedible. DO NOT eat it.

If it gets into your eyes or touches

your skin, wash it off immediately,

and seek professional medical

help.
