Tighten the spring-loaded screws in a crisscross pattern until the screws bottom out into the standoff. Once there, do
not attempt to lock the screws any further, or they will jam into the standoff, and could prove difficult to remove if you
ever need to uninstall the heatsink. Installation is now complete.
