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. 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.
WARNING:
Dimensions on pictures below are scaled.
PLACING THERMAL PADS ON THE
MOTHERBOARD
Place thermal pads on PCB as shown on the picture.
Please remove the protective foil from both sides of the
thermal pads prior to installation!
Place 1mm Thermal Pads in larger strips over the marked
area and make sure all mosfet and inductor chips are covered.
