Warning! We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be
removed. However, if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please
follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or the
CPU socket.

Installing the Heatsink
Do not apply any thermal grease
to the heatsink or the CPU die;
the required amount has already
been applied.
Place the heatsink on top of the
CPU so that the four mounting
holes are aligned with those on
the (pre-installed) heatsink reten-
tion mechanism.
Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e.
the #1 and the #2 screws) until
just snug. Do not fully tighten the
screws or you may damage the
CPU.)
Add the two remaining screws
then fi nish the installation by fully
tightening all four screws.

not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!!)
3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU.

Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you re-install the
heatsink.
