CHANGING THE COLDPLATE
STEP 1
Cleaning the CPU:
Wipe the CPU’s contact surface with a non-
abrasive cloth or Q-tip.
STEP 2
Applying Thermal Compound:
Apply the enclosed thermal
grease (thermal compound) on the CPU heat spreader (IHS) as
shown in the image.
There is no need to cover the whole IHS – applying too much thermal
grease will have a negative impact on the cooling performance!
