To Un-install the Heatsink

!

(Warning: We do not recommend

that the CPU or the heatsink be

removed. However, if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to uninstall the heatsink to prevent damage done to the CPU or the CPU socket.)

1.Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the motherboard in the sequence as show in the picture on the right.

2.Hold the heatsink as show in the picture on the right and gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!!)

3.Once the CPU is loosened, remove the heatsink from the CPU socket.

4.Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you re-install the CPU and the heatsink.
