2.Place the heat sink on top of the CPU. The 4 studs around the heat sink which are used to secure the heat sink onto the system board must match the 4 mounting holes around the socket.
Position each stud so that the groove faces the heat sink then push it down firmly until it clicks into place.
Note:
You will not be able to secure the fan and heat sink assembly in place if the groove is not facing the heat sink.
