Sei8 i5-8279U changing thermal paste

beelink4vsze

Hi Beelink.  I bought an SEi8 i5-8279U from your shop.  Really like it and it's made at a great price.  I've taken mine apart to see how it's built, but I would like to change the thermal paste myself.  I see on the machine's board there is a heat sink with four screws.  When I've tried to remove them and lift lightly it seems to be stuck.  Do you have instructions here or elsewhere on how to remove the heatsink for this particular machine so I can choose a different thermal paste?

Thank you in advance!

Hi there. I was wondering if you ever figured out how to remove the heatsink. I'm stuck in the same situation.

Hi there,

It is not recommended to replace the thermal paste.
It will void the warranty and it might ruin the CPU.
If you have any questions, you can contact support for help.
