There's your answer. Just peel off the cover and put the heatsink on.

this is incorrect, the TIM is adequate / better than paste, use it !

The O/P clearly did not need contradicting advise, I'm sure your
intentions were to be helpful and I hope you won't mind my correction.

I do hope this missive won't start a flood / flame / pissing contest
from all the brainwashed ASII/III junkie

Your welcome M8, we all from time to time need direction and sometimes
only a confirming reassurance before we commit to an action.

You did the correct thing, you checked first.

sorry, i didn't read the other one
most heatsinks come with some heatsink compound already on the bottom, so
you do as he says basicly, just stick it on and away yu go

in that respect, always make sure some sort of compound is on the heatsink
the point of heatsink compound is that the compound fills in all the tiny
gaps between the cpu core and and heatsink, this means more area is
connected, and as such, more heat is transfered

a few years ago you didn't have to bother, only nutter overclockers used it,
these days evryone has to

You would use either thermal paste or a thermal pad.Not both.thermal pads con
only be used once then have to be removed and either use another pad or paste.
