Fan Sink - HP Z1 Entry Tower G5 Maintenance And Service Manual

Fan sink

Fan sinks are available for models that use up to a 65 W processor and models that use a 95 W processor.
CAUTION: The bond between the fan sink and the processor may be very tight.
If the computer will power on, before removing the fan sink, turn on the computer until it warms the fan sink.
Warming the fan sink lessens the bond between the heat sink and the processor, thereby making separating
them easier.
Make sure not to pull the processor out of the socket when you lift the fan sink, especially if you cannot warm
the fan sink prior to removal. Inadvertently removing the processor can damage the pins.
