  • In order to completely remove the fan you will need to remove the heat sink from the motherboard.

  • Unscrew the six silver screws that attach the fan casing to the motherboard.

  • Gently pull up the square portion of the copper piping as that covers the processor.

  • When reassembling, it's best practice to properly reapply a thermal paste between the heat sink/pipes and the processor after cleaning the old paste off; failure to do this could cause your processor to overheat, making your computer sluggish, and eventually fail. (You can find other guides on iFixit for how to apply/remove thermal paste.)
