2. Some heatsinks will come with
thermal paste pre‑applied. If so,
do not scrape it off and remove
the protective film only before
installation. If not, before installing
the heatsink, apply several drops of

in contact with. Make sure that it is
spread in an even thin layer.
To prevent contaminating the paste, do NOT spread the paste with your finger
directly.
