to the exposed area of the CPU 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.

To prevent contaminating the paste, DO NOT spread the paste with your nger directly.

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.
