WARNING:
Dimensions on pictures below are scaled.
Please remove the protective foil from both sides of the
thermal pads prior to installation!
APPLYING THERMAL COMPOUND
Apply thermal compound on CPU heat spreader (IHS) with enclosed
EK-TIM Ectotherm thermal grease. The quantity of about two rice
grains is just about right (like shown on the picture on the left side).
There is no need to cover the whole IHS. Applying too much thermal
grease will have negative impact on the cooling performance!
CUTTING THERMAL PADS
Your block comes with thermal pads which needs to be trimmed
in order to fit the voltage regulation area (MOSFET) on the
motherboard’s circuit
board.
