Notes: The motherboard comes
with a heatsink bracket pre-in-
stalled on the reverse side of the
board. Do not apply any thermal
grease to the heatsink or the CPU
die; the required amount has al-
ready been applied.
Place the heatsink on top 1.
of the CPU so that the four
mounting holes are aligned
with those on the retention
mechanism.
Install two diagonal screws 2.
(i.e. the #1 and the #2
screws) and tighten them until
just snug (do not fully tighten
the screws to avoid damaging
the CPU.)
Repeat step 2 with the #3 3.
and #4 screws. Make sure all
screws are snug.
