ID: 194184

Description:

Steps:

1. Apply a bead of new thermal paste to the center of the processor's copper heat spreader, roughly the size of a pea.

2. Set the heat sink's aluminum fins into its recess behind the fan, then lower the heat sink onto the board.

3. Use a JIS 00 driver to partially install the four 3.4 mm‑long silver screws securing the heat sink.
4. Tighten the screws in an X pattern. For example: bottom left, top right, bottom right, then top left.
