Installing the Heatsink

1. After the processor is secured, now you must install the heatsink to the socket frame. Lower the heatsink down until the four screws on the heatsink align with the four screw holes on the socket frame.

2. Using a diagonal pattern, tighten the four screws down on the heatsink. The heatsink will now be secured and you have finished installing the processor and heatsink onto the motherboard. When finished, the heatsink will be secured over the socket and processor.
