  • When remove the CPU heatsink it's best to heat up the heatsink with a blow dryer so the thermal paste heats up. This way you don't rip the CPU out of the motherboard socket.

  • Make sure you do the normal CPU unscrew method. For example, start with the upper left, unscrew just a bit, then go to the lower right and unscrew just a bit. Next jump to the lower left, unscrew just a bit, then next the upper right. Continue this until you can remove it.
