CAUTION: Heatsink retaining screws should be removed in diagonally opposite pairs (as in an X) to
even the downward forces on the processor. This is especially important as the pins on the socket are very
fragile and any damage to them may require replacing the system board.
8. Lay the heatsink on its top in a safe area to prevent the thermal grease from contaminating
the work surface.
