2.Hold down the heatsink lightly and twist each of the four screws with a Philips (cross) screwdriver just enough to attach the heatsink to the motherboard. When the four screws are attached, tighten them one by one to completely secure the heatsink.

3.Connect the thermistor cable to the 2-pin cable from the mid-fan board.

4.Follow steps 1 and 2 to install the second CPU heatsink.
