• Carefully align and lay the heatsink over the processor.
• Use your Framework Screwdriver to gradually tighten the heatsink screws in the marked order until they're snug:
• First screw
• Second screw
• Third screw
• Fourth screw, then back to the first
• This helps compress the thermal compound evenly under the heatsink and apply even pressure over the processor.
