Removing the Heatsink
Warning: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heatsink. If you do need
to remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the
CPU or other components.
1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply.
1. Unscrew and remove two diagonal screws on
the heatsink (i.e. the #1 and #2 screws as shown
below) and then remove the remaining two.
2. Hold the heatsink and gently wiggle it to loosen it
from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when
doing this!)
3. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it from
the CPU.
4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink
to get rid of the old thermal grease. Reapply the
proper amount of thermal grease before you re-
install the heatsink.
