STEP 2: PREPARING YOUR MOTHERBOARD
1. REMOVING STOCK COOLER.
Remove all 10 screws holding the original heat-
pipe cooler assembly to the motherboard’s circuit board.
2. CLEANING THE PCB.
Carefully detach the original stock cooler after removing
all
screws securing it to the board. Wipe off the remains (by using non–abrasive cloth or qtip,
as shown on sample photo) of the original thermal compound until the components and
circuit board are completely clean. EKWB does not recommend using any liquids for
removing paste.
3. APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND
