Apply a thin layer of thermal paste
across the surface of the CPU and the
heatsink bottom.

and slide it through between the heatpipes.
Extend it back to its original form and place
it on top of the heatsink.
Place the heatsink on top of CPU and
secure in place by tightening on the
spring loaded screws to the AM2
backplate on the other side of the
motherboard.

Apply the anti-vibration strips to each side of the heatsink. Insert
each end of the fan clips into its designated holes on the heatsink.
Rotate the heatsink in a 90 degree fashion and place it
