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.

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 nger

directly.

8. Close the load plate (A), and then
