Apply some Thermal Interface Material

to the exposed area of the APU that the

heatsink will be in contact with, ensuring

that it is spread in an even thin layer.

Some heatsinks come with pre-applied

thermal paste. If so, skip this step.

The Thermal Interface Material is

toxic and inedible. DO NOT eat it. If

it gets into your eyes or touches your

skin, wash it off immediately, and seek

professional medical help.

To prevent contaminating the paste, DO NOT spread the paste with your finger.
