    Hi

    Sadly your HSF maker has a poor support and info site on what to do to re-assemble or initially install unless you have paper documentation that came with the Heatsink Fan assembly?

    Is this a new heatsink or one you are putting back on?

    But looking at it and being an i7 one alot are the same and it looks a bit like the setup of mine in that what you need to do is if its a new HSF is to take the motherboard out as you need to install a backplate which is a black plastic thing and maybe a block plastic top plate, then install the main heatsink and you will need to jiggle the metal square retention clip to the heatsink first over the actual heatsink and they look like these HERE (bottom of page), then with thermal paste thinly spread on the CPU and HSF, place the heatsink onto the CPU and align the screws of the retention clip to the holes where the back/top plate are located and screw the screws to the HSF down individually with a few turns on each of the four as not to crack anything by screwing one or two down fully.
