Step 2 Tighten the heatsink screws



• Use your Framework Desktop Screwdriver to tighten the four captive Phillips screws securing the heatsink in an "X" pattern starting with the top right screw.
• Only tighten the screws a few turns at a time to evenly compress the APU and thermal pads.
• In order: top right → bottom left → bottom right → top left
• Use your Framework Desktop Screwdriver to tighten the captive Phillips screw jutting out under the Primary Storage.
