Removing the Heat Sink of Processor 2
IMPORTANT: If the heat sink has been removed for any reason on a previously installed processor, it
is critical that you remove any residual thermal compound using the provided alcohol pads and
apply more grease compound to the integrated heat spreader on the processor to ensure proper
thermal bonding between the processor and the heat sink.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the spring-loaded screws to prevent them from breaking off. A
maximum torque of 6 inch-lb is set for each screw. Rotate the heat sink a few degrees to the left and
right to break the bonding of the thermal grease compound before removing the heat sink from the
processor.
