Remove the HSF assembly.

mounting pins.
(2) Once you have loosened all four mounting pins, lift the HSF
away from the mainboard.

patch facing upward. Do not let the thermal patch touch the
work surface.
Use an alcohol pad to wipe off the thermal grease from both the
HSF assembly and the processor socket retention plate.
