Hi,

If you look on page 43 of the service manual, you can see the steps you need to follow to remove heatsink.

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05122652

Remove all old thermal compound from the heatsink and CPU/GPU. You can use isopropyl alcohol and lint-free cloth and use a soft plastic tool to remove any dried parts. Apply quality new paste such as Arctic MX4 which is easy to apply or more performance with Arctic Silver 5 or better paste.

 

Hope it helps,

David
