Replacing the Thermal Module 0
IMPORTANT:
+
Make sure all thermal pads for the mainboard chipsets and VRAMs are in
place before replacing the thermal module.
1. Use a lint-free cloth or cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol or acetone to remove all
traces of thermal grease from the contact surfaces on both the heatsink module and the
CPU.
2. Apply a small amount of thermal grease onto the center area of the CPU and GPU.
There is no need to spread the grease manually, the force used during the installation of
the thermal module is sufficient. The following brands of thermal grease are approved for
use:
N302 I-Connosseur
Honeywell
Eapus XR-PE
3. Place the thermal module on the mainboard. Make sure to align the screw hole on the
thermal module with the screw hole on the mainboard. Keep the module as level as
possible to spread the thermal grease evenly.
