    grease, and use alcohol

    Important: New heatsinks 
    include pre-applied 
    thermal grease. Follow 
    steps 1-2 only if re-
    installing a heatsink. 
    1 Caution: The syringe 
    contains enough 
    thermal grease for 
    3 microprocessors. 
    Because this 
    computer has only 2 
    microprocessors, you 
    must use only 2/3 of 
    the syringe contents.
    Use a pen to mark the 
    syringe in thirds.
