| [* yellow] Check the condition of the thermal putty—it'll be on the heatsink and/or the motherboard. | |
| - | [* black] If any pieces are damaged or dried out, remove and replace them: |
| - | [* icon_note] Note the location, shape, and size of the originals pieces of thermal putty. When replacing them, the pieces of putty need to be the same. |
| - | [* black] Use a spudger to ''gently'' scrape up larger pieces of putty, being very careful not to damage anything on the board. |
| - | [* black] Use isopropyl alcohol and coffee filters or cotton swabs to clean up ''all'' the thermal putty residue. |
| - | [* black] Apply new pieces of ''putty'' (***not*** thermal paste) that are the same size and shape as the originals. |
| + | [* black] If any pieces are damaged or dried out, follow the next four steps to remove and replace them. |
| + | [* black] If you're only replacing the thermal paste, skip to this step. |
