(Caution! We do not recommend that the
CPU or the heatsink be removed. However,
if you do need to un-install the heatsink,
please follow the instructions below to
uninstall the heatsink to prevent damage
done to the CPU or the CPU socket. )
ToUn-installthe Heatsink
1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink
screws from the motherboard in the
sequence as show in the picture on the
right.
2. Hold the heatsink as show in the
picture on the right and gently wriggle the
heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do
not use excessive force when wriggling
the heatsink!!)
3. Once the CPU is loosened from the
heatsink, remove the heatsink from the
CPU socket.
4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the
heatsink to get rid of the old thermal
grease. Reapply the proper amount of
thermal grease on the surface before
you re-install the CPU and the heatsink.
