Kit Assembly
Now the heat-conducting paste can be applied. Take a little piece of paperboard or a thick
paper to apply the heat-conducting paste to the metallic back of the component.
It's only needed a thin layer of paste. “Much helps much” is wrong here. More heat-
conducting paste as on the picture should not be applied.
In the assembly kit is included a M3x6 mm screw. With this one the voltage regulator is
getting screwed on the cooling element (tighten it hard). The connectors are looking
through the opening of the cooling element.
