Installation of an Alpha PAL8045

[Paul.K]

My Alpha PAL8045 will be arriving in a few days. Does anyone got any tips on installing this heatsink and fan onto my mainboard using the 4 mounting holes.

Information concerning this matter would be appreciated???

I have an 8045 too, and it has those things in the box.

I would go a step further and glue them to your board like I did with my Swifty. You will see how important this is.
