Steps
1. Disconnect the left and right fan cables from the system board.
2. Turn the system-board assembly over.
3. In the reverse sequential order (6>5>4>3>2>1), remove the six screws (M2x3) that secure the fan and heat-sink assembly to the
system board.
4. Lift the fan and heat-sink assembly off the system board.
CAUTION: Do not use an alcohol wipe to clean the Element 31 thermal grease off the surface of the CPU or GPU, the
alcohol solution from the wipes dissolve the Element 31 grease into conductive metal particles. If these conductive metal
particles come into contact with the surface of the system board, it causes an electrical short when your computer is
turned on.
