IMPORTANT: If the heat sink has been removed for any reason on a previously installed processor,
it is critical that you clean any residue of the thermal compound from both the processor and
heatsink with alcohol and apply more thermal grease compound to the integrated heat spreader on
the processor to ensure proper thermal bonding between the processor and the heat sink.
