3. Mount the CPU Block

  1. Apply a small amount of thermal grease to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
  2. Place the backplate on the rear of your motherboard, aligning it with the CPU socket holes.
  3. Insert the appropriate standoffs (Intel 17XX/115X/1200 or AMD) into the four mounting holes around the CPU socket.
  4. Carefully place the CPU block onto the CPU, ensuring the mounting holes align with the standoffs.
  5. Secure the CPU block with the provided mounting screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern until snug. Do not overtighten.
