Drive the three screws slightly into the holes
in sequence 1>2>3, just enough to attach
the load plate to the socket. When the
three screws are attached, tighten them in
sequence 1>2>3 to completely secure the
load plate. Then apply the Thermal Interface
Material to the CPU.
The load plate screws are Torx T20 models. A torque value of 12 inch-lbf is
recommended.
