    • Use a few drops of high concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to wipe away the remaining residue.

    • If you're reusing the heatsink:

    • Use the flat end of your Framework Screwdriver to scrape and remove the thermal compound residue from the heatsink.

    • Use a few drops of high concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to wipe away the remaining residue.

    • The next two steps show how to install a thermal pad. If you're using thermal paste instead, skip down two steps.

    • The thermal pad is covered with liners on both sides.

    • Use your fingers to carefully remove the thermal pad and liners from its container.

    • Peel the stiffer, clear liner away from the thermal pad.

    • If you have trouble handling your thermal pad, place it in your fridge for a few minutes to make it more rigid.

    • Place the thermal pad over the processor, making sure it covers both raised blocks.

    • Use your fingers to press the thermal pad onto the processor blocks.

    • Peel the colored liner away from the thermal pad.

    • Skip the next step.

    • This step shows how to install thermal paste.

    • Apply a small bead of thermal paste to the small processor rectangle.

    • Apply a small line of thermal paste to the larger processor rectangle.

    • Thermal paste is non-conductive, so don't worry if it spills over the rectangles.

    • Carefully align and lay the heatsink over the processor.

    • Use your Framework Screwdriver to gradually tighten the heatsink screws in the marked order until they're snug:

    • First screw

    • Second screw

    • Third screw

    • Fourth screw, then back to the first

    • This helps compress the thermal compound evenly under the heatsink and apply even pressure over the processor.
