NOTE: When removing the heat sink, the possibility exists that the processor might adhere to the heat sink and be removed from the socket. It is recommended that you remove the heat sink while the processor is still warm.

4Remove the heat sink:

a Slightly rotate the heat sink to loosen it from the processor.

b If the processor is removed from the socket with the heat sink, twist or slide the processor off of the heat sink. Do not pry the processor off of the heat sink.

c Set the heat sink on its top so as not to contaminate the thermal grease.

5Pull the socket-release lever straight up until the processor is released from the socket. See Figure 3-19.
