6.Disconnect the thermal sensor and heatsink fan cables 1 from the system board.

7.Unscrew the four screws that secure the heatsink to the system board 2, then lift the heatsink from the system board 3.

ÄCAUTION: Heatsink retaining screws should be removed in diagonally opposite pairs (as in an X) to even the downward forces on the processor. This is especially important as the pins on the socket are very fragile and any damage to them may require replacing the system board.
