Lowering the locking arm for the cpu into the socket. This is where it will feel like a spring with good tension. No worries the cpu will be just fine. Lower until it locks in place.

Cpu installed and locked in place
You can get an idea of the difference between the stock cpu cooler and the Hyper 212+ in this image
When I built computers for clients, we added CPU heat sink paste after pacing the CPU on the mother board.

Applying the thermal paste.
I applied some to the Hyper212+, then a drop also to the cpu.
I then take the two and slide them to spread paste and create a good contact.

Installed the CoolMaster after the thermal paste was applied and spread evenly for good contact.
I will have the fan blow air to the rear of the case. It will blow through the grills on the cooler pushing the air out to rear exhaust fan.
I may do a push pull on this cooler not sure if needed at this time.

here is a closer view of the cooler on the cpu
Thanks oraclewizard77 for sharing your experience. Would you be so kind to give a little detail for this approach.
Greatly appreciated
