Figure 3-22. Installing a Processor
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.
11 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.
12 Open the grease applicator included with your processor kit and apply all
of the thermal grease in the applicator to the center of the topside of the
new processor.
13 Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-18.
