In this part of the video, the process of installing a cooling system onto a heatsink begins. This involves opening a package containing various components like a backplate labeled Intel, thermal paste, fan attachments, and screws. The backplate and screws are secured onto the heatsink. Next, the motherboard is prepared; thermal paste is applied to the CPU, and the heatsink is carefully aligned and secured with screws. Once the heatsink is attached, the fan is installed, connected to the CPU fan header, and its lighting is connected to an RGB header. Following this, RAM sticks are installed in specific slots (2 and 4) on the motherboard by aligning and pressing them into place until they click. An SSD is also installed by removing a heatsink, positioning the SSD, securing it with a lever, and reattaching the heatsink. The motherboard is then prepped for installation into the case, ensuring the motherboard standoffs align correctly.
