Step 7Install Heatsink
In this step we will be mixing and applying theThermal Adhesive to the CPU, and mounting the heatsink/fan.
The ratio is equal 1A:1B. Mix them in the Pringles lid with the provided black mixing scraper wand thingy. This will become pretty thick and start setting in about 5 minutes, so keep it movin quickly! J
Apply a THIN layer of the mixed thermal paste over the entire surface of the CPU.
Do not overdue it here, this is some extremely strong thermal glue that dries rock hard and will be holding onto that chip for years, even with minimal application. Chances are; once it dries, you’re never going to get it that heatsink off unless you take the CPU with it.
Position your heatsink over the CPU at whatever orientation allows the entire chip to be covered, and WITHOUT letting the heatsink touch any other parts! (The arrangements of parts varies with the different versions of this router), Press down firmly for about 30 seconds, and then find something heavy to set on top of it.
Let it dry for 2 hours.
