- Remove those screws:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0000.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Push the keyboard forward (carefully):<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0001.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Lift the keyboard up and disconnect it from the board:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0002.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Grab the right-hand side of the chassis and force it off (gently) and pry up the rest of the chassis:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0003.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- You should now have this:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0004.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Disconnect the wifi antenna cables, the modem cable and the speaker:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0005.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Unroute the cables along their path, carefully lifting the tape that holds them in place. Then, disconnect the modem
- cable (other end) and power connection and unroute all the cables so that they dangle by the monitor hinge on the right-hand
- side:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0006.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Disconnect the monitor from the motherboard, and unroute the grey antenna cable, carefully lifting the tape
- that holds it into place:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0008.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Carefully lift the remaining tape and unroute the left antenna cable so that it is loose:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0009.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Remove those screws:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0011.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Remove those screws:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0012.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Carefully remove the plate, like so:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0013.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Remove the SATA connector:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0014.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Now remove the motherboard (gently) and cast the lcd/chassis aside:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0015.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Look at that black tape above the heatsink, remove it:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0016.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Now you have removed it:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0017.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Disconnect the fan and remove all the screws, heatsink will easily come off:<br/>
- <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0018.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- Remove the old paste with a cloth (from the CPU and heatsink) and then clean both of them with the alcohol (to remove remaining residue of the paste).
- Apply a pea-sized amount of paste to the both chipsets that the heatsink covered and spread it evenly (uniformally).
- Finally reinstall the heatsink, reversing previous steps.
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>stress -c 2</b> command can be used to push the CPU to 100%, and <b>xsensors</b> (or <b>watch sensors</b> command) can be used to monitor heat.
- Below 90C is ok.
