5.Remove the PnP cap from the CPU socket.
6.Position the CPU over the socket, making sure that the gold triangle is on the bottom‑left corner of the socket, and then fit the socket alignment key into the CPU notch.
The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!

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 finger directly.
