• We recommend that you lay down your computer flat on a table.
• Lightly coat the processor core with the included thermal compound.
Only a paper thin coat is necessary. It should be applied using
pref erably a razor blade, or a credit c ard, held bet ween thumb and
index at a 45 degree angle. It is critical to ascertain that the entire core
is covered with a uniform coat of thermal compound. Thermal
performance will dramatically decrease if any portion of the core is not
covered by thermal compound.

unequal length. The short spring goes on the side of the heat sink that
features a step in the base, whereas the long spr ing goes to the opposite
side (s ee assy. schematic on page 1).
Now that the heat sink is installed, s tartup your computer, go into the BIOS and observe the C PU temperature. Under normal ambient
temperature c onditions, the processor temperature should never exc eed 60° C (140 ° F). If it does, shut down the computer immediately, and
review your entir e installation. Troubleshooting help is available on our web sit e at www.swiftnets.com
