Heatsink Installation
Insert the processor into the socket, and lightly coat the core with
the provided thermal compound. Only a paper thin coat is
necessary. It should be applied using preferably a razor blade, or a
credit card, held between thumb and index at a 45° angle. Thermal
performance will dramatically decrease if any portion of the core is
not covered by thermal compound.
Place the MCX4000™ heatsink over the CPU as shown in the
picture to the right. Keep the heatsink mounting holes lined up
with the standoffs. Tighten the screws gradually in a crisscross
pattern until you feel that they reach the bottom of the standoff.
A “finger-tight” lock is sufficient.

Use the following provided hardware depending on the fan:
6-32 x 2.25” screws for 70x15mm fans
6-32x2.5” for 80x25mm fans
