The following procedure is identical for the heat sinks of both CPUs.
Figure 96: Removing the processor heat sink (A)
Ê Loosen the four captive screws (combihexagon) on the heat sink in the
following pattern: (4)->(3)->(2)->(1).
Ê Carefully turn the heat sink back and forth to detach it from the processor.

This may be necessary due to the adhesive quality of the thermal
paste located between the heat sink and processor.

surrounding the processor socket.
Ê Lift the heat sink out of the chassis.
Ê Thoroughly clean residual thermal paste from the surface of the heat sink
