| [* black] Flip the motherboard over. | |
| - | [* icon_caution] ***Be EXTRA careful to not strip the screws in this step***! If you are doing this for the first time they may be very tight, so figure out a way to remove them without stripping them. Extra pressure may help for more grip, but proceed with caution as to not damage the board with too much force. |

| [* icon_caution] Each of the screws may have a number next to it on the black metal, unscrew them ***in that order*** for both disassembly and reassembly (i.e. don't reverse the order on reassembly). If you are uncertain of the order, it should be (see Image 1) as follows: | |
| [* red] First screw: red | |
| [* orange] Second screw: orange | |
| [* yellow] Third screw: yellow | |
| [* green] Fourth and fifth screws: green in either order | |
| [* light_blue] Unplug the wires connected to each fan (see Image 2 and Image 3), 2 for the GPU fan and 1 for the CPU fan. One of the GPU fan wires is under a black piece of tape. |
