The CPU fits in only one correct

orientation. DO NOT force the

CPU into the socket to prevent

bending the connectors on the

socket and damaging the CPU!

6. Position the CPU over the socket,

making sure that the gold triangle

is on the bottom-left corner of the

socket, and then fit the socket

alignment key into the CPU notch.

7. Apply several drops of thermal paste

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 paste. If so, skip

this step.

5. Remove the PnP cap from the CPU

socket.

The thermal paste is toxic and

inedible. If it gets into your eyes

or touches your skin, ensure to

wash it off immediately and seek

professional medical help.

To prevent contaminating the paste, DO NOT spread the paste with your finger

directly.
