Replacement fan for NUC7i5BNH

Hi folks,

Would be very grateful for some direction here! I’m halfway through this build but the chipset seems to be in 3 pieces, not the two shown on the Akasa instructions. Since I only have 1 thermal pad included with the kit, am I just meant to use paste on the other chip? It had a pad to start with. Help! Am suddenly in over my depth!

Thanks for any guidance.

Edit: So, I just went for it with the thermal paste in the end! In a few hours time I’ll know if that was a mistake or not :thinking:
