Replacing the Thermal Module

1. Remove all traces of thermal grease from the CPU using a lint-free cloth or cotton swab
and Isopropyl Alcohol, Acetone, or other approved cleaning agent.
2. Apply a small amount of thermal grease to the centre of the CPU — there is no need to
spread the grease manually, the force used during the installation of the thermal module is
sufficient.
3. Place the thermal module on the mainboard. Make sure to align the screw holes on the
thermal module and mainboard. Keep the module as level as possible to spread the
thermal grease evenly.
