✎The thermal material must be thoroughly cleaned from the surfaces of the fan/heat sink and the system board components each time the fan/heat sink is removed. Thermal grease is located on the section of the fan/heat sink 1 that services the processor 2. Thermal pads are located on the section of the fan/heat sink 3 that services the Northbridge chip 4. Replacement thermal grease and pads are included with all system board, fan/heat sink assembly, and processor spare part kits.
The following illustration shows the replacement thermal material locations for computer models equipped with graphics subsystems with UMA memory.
