STEP 3
CLEANING THE PCB

Wipe off the remains of any thermal compound from the GPU core 
by using a non-abrasive cloth or    q-tip. EKWB recommends the use of 
denatured alcohol for removing TIM leftovers. Additionally, remove all of 
the stock thermal pads from both sides of the PCB.

STEP 4
APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND

Lightly cover AMD GPU chip with enclosed EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal 
grease. EKWB recommends to apply the thermal grease in a cross form to 
best performance( see sample picture).
