Install the heatsink and CPU fanThis is perhaps the most difficult part of building a computer. The heat sink have to be placed close on top of the processor.
On the picture above you can see the heat sink and fan attached together. The white square on the heat sink is thermal paste put there by the producer. If your heat sink does not have any thermal paste you will have to do it your self before you can attach the heat sink onto the processor. You can read more about the simple steps at Artic Silver.
On the picture above we see the heat sink seconds before it is attached to the processor. The circles in red marks where the handle shall be put. To attach them together you need to use a bit of power. Make sure you the heat sink is placed the right way before you start pushing the handle.

When the heatsink is installed you have to connect power to it. Where the power is connected can be found in the manual.
