Your backplate comes with thermal pads that have to be cut into smaller
pieces to cover all the VRM components. EK made sure to provide you with
more than an adequate quantity of thermal pads to complete this Step.
CAUTION: You must remove the protective foil from both
sides of the thermal pad before installation.
CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS
Once cut to size, thermal pads should be placed on the backplate,
as shown in the image.
