• Always verify that your heatsink is making good contact with your CPU before powering up your system! To do this: • Apply thermal compound to the CPU slug • Attach your heatsink to the CPU and socket form factor as you normally would. • Remove the heatsink. • Examine the bottom of the heatsink to see where the thermal compound has left an impression. It should leave a uniform(even) impression in the shape of the cpu.
