9.5.4 Removing processor heat sinks
I The following procedure is identical for the heat sinks of both CPUs.
Figure 96: Removing the processor heat sink (A)
Ê Loosen the four captive screws (combihexagon) on the heat sink in the
following pattern: (4)->(3)->(2)->(1).
Ê Carefully turn the heat sink back and forth to detach it from the processor.
I This may be necessary due to the adhesive quality of the thermal
paste located between the heat sink and processor.
V CAUTION!
Pay special attention not to damage any system board components
surrounding the processor socket.
Ê Lift the heat sink out of the chassis.
Ê Thoroughly clean residual thermal paste from the surface of the heat sink
and the processor using a lint-free cloth.
