STEP 4
Take the pre-assembled backplate and insert the screw stem from
the back of motherboard and through.
STEP 5
Place a small needle drop of the supplied thermal grease onto
the CPU cooler base or the CPU heat spreader and spread it out. Do not
use the whole supplied tube, this will be too much and result in a
lower cooling performance.

STEP 8
Install the fans onto the heatsink, connect the
Y-splitter cable to the fans and plug it into the mainboard CPU

Fasten the supplied screws onto the stem and tighten them.
A rule of thumb is that you don’t need to tighten too fast.
On and solid secured is enough.
