Replace the heatsink
  • Carefully replace the heatsink on top of the processor, taking care to ensure the fan connector is properly connected.

  • Begin to screw down the bolts again. You'll want to tighten in the same back and forth pattern to apply equal pressure across the processor.

  • DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! It is very important to pay attention to the torque on the screws. Once a screw no longer wants to tighten with ease, back off.
