Installing the CPU Heat Sink
Do not apply any thermal grease to the 1.
heat sink or the CPU die; the required
amount has already been applied.
Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so 2.
that the four mounting holes are aligned
with those on the retention mechanism.
Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 3.
and the #2 screws) until just snug (do not
over-tighten the screws, which may dam-
age the CPU.)
Finish the installation by fully tightening all 4.
four screws.
Warning: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heat sink.
However, if you do need to uninstall the heat sink, please follow these
instructions to avoid damaging the CPU or the CPU socket.
Uninstalling the Heat Sink
Unscrew and remove the heat sink 1.
screws in the sequence shown in the
picture on the right.
Hold the heat sink as shown in the picture 2.
on the right and gently wriggle to loosen
it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive
force when doing this!)
Once the heat sink is loosened, remove it 3.
from the CPU socket.
Clean the surface of the CPU and the 4.
heat sink to get rid of the old thermal
grease. Reapply the proper amount of
thermal grease before you re-install the
heat sink.
