1. Place the heatsink on top of the
installed CPU, ensuring that the
four screws match the holes on the
motherboard.
2. Tighten each of the screws with a
Phillips screwdriver just enough

motherboard.
3. When attached, tighten the screws

CPU.
Fasten the screws to just about the proper tightness to avoid damaging the motherboard,
CPU, or heatsink.
