Due to the adhesive quality of the thermal material located between the fan/heat sink assembly and system board components, it may be necessary to move the fan/heat sink assembly from side to side to detach the assembly.
3. Remove the fan/heat sink assembly 4.The thermal material must be thoroughly cleaned from the surfaces of the fan/heat sink assembly and the system board each time the fan/heat sink assembly is removed:
■Thermal paste is used on the processor 1 and the heat sink section 2 that services it.
■Thermal pads are used on the Northbridge chip 3 and the heat sink section 4 that services it.
■Thermal pads are used on various other system board components 5 and 7, and sections of the heat sink 6 and 8.
Replacement thermal material is included with all fan/heat sink assembly, system board, and processor spare part kits.
