Heat sink
CAUTION: The bond between the heat sink and the processor may be very tight.
If the computer will power on, before removing the heat sink, turn on the computer until it warms the
heat sink. Warming the heat sink lessens the bond between the heat sink and the processor, thereby
making separating them easier.
Make sure not to pull the processor out of the socket when you lift the heat sink, especially if you
cannot warm the heat sink prior to removal. Inadvertently removing the processor can damage the
pins.
The heat sink is secured atop the processor with four captive Torx screws. The heat sink does not
include a fan.
