2. Condensation prevention:
Fill-up the socket with dielectric grease.
Do not confuse dielectric grease with thermal compound. Dielectric
grease is used to prevent condensation where parts are exposed to
cold. We recommend Luberex (available on our web site under the
accessories section), or any similar product, with good dielectric
properties. Fill-up the socket center cavity (grease is to be level with
the upper surface of the socket), and coat the socket pinholes with
grease. Spread the grease with your finger so that it will penetrate
inside the pinholes.

Insert the processor into the socket.
Since you have grease inside the socket, some hydraulic pressure lift
may occur: for this reason, make sure that the processor sits
perfectly flat, and is inserted all the way into the socket. Then, coat
the processor core with high quality 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-
degree angle as shown on figure 4.
Remove the peel-off paper back from the motherboard gasket, and
install it as shown Figure 5. The sticky side should be towards the
motherboard.
