Closing the Processor Shield

11 Install the heat sink.

NOTE:

Your kit may contain a replacement heat sink if you are installing a

processor that consumes additional power. The new heat sink may not appear
different than the original one; however, it has improved thermal dissipation
specifications and must be used.

a

Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat
sink.

CAUTION:

Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming

in contact with and contaminating the processor socket.

b

Open the grease packet included with your processor kit and apply a
spot of thermal grease equal to the size of a finger nail to the top
center of the new processor.

c

Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-27.

d

Close the heat-sink release levers or replace the screws at the corners
of the heat sink. See Figure 3-27.
