11Install the heat sink.

NOTE: Your kit may contain a replacement heat sink if you are installing a processor that consumes additional power. The new heat sink may not appear different than the original one; however, it has improved thermal dissipation specifications and must be used.

aUsing a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink.

CAUTION: Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming in contact with and contaminating the processor socket.

bOpen the grease packet included with your processor kit and apply a spot of thermal grease equal to the size of a finger nail to the top center of the new processor.

cPlace the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-27.

dClose the heat-sink release levers or replace the screws at the corners of the heat sink. See Figure 3-27.
