1. Remove all traces of thermal grease from the CPU using a lint-free cloth or cotton swab and Isopropyl Alcohol,
Acetone (1), or other approved cleaning agent.
2. Apply a small amount of thermal grease to the centre of the CPU—there is no need to spread the grease
manually, the force used during the installation of the thermal module is sufficient.
3. Replace the fan to the heatsink.
NOTE: This procedure is only necessary for UMA models only.
