The heat sink is factory-precoated with a “phase change” thermal interface material (TIM) pad. In the
case of a new system and CPU, this TIM pad works very well, however, it cannot be re-used without
leaving gaps on the CPU heat sink interface. If the cooler needs to be reseated or a new CPU is
installed as replacement of the previous one, please clean both CPU and the cooler from any residual
TIM pad and apply new thermal compound like OCZ FreeZe to the CPU.
Note that the screw notch is in the “locked” posion.
Carefully re-assemble the system in reverse order of the disassembly.
