10. Apply the proper amount of thermal compound to the CPU die and place
the heatsink on top of the CPU. Make sure the heatsink sits completely flat
on the CPU - if not completely flat, the space between the two will degrade

sor to overheat.
11. Secure the heatsink by locking the retention clips into position. When
correctly installed, the clips should *click* into place and the three black
tabs on the CPU retention pieces should protrude fully through the corre-
sponding holes on the retention clips. See Figures 5-4a and 5-4b for dia-
grams of the retention clips and the heatsink installation procedure.
