Heat sinks – Graphics board and processor
Separate heat sinks cool the discrete graphic board (select models only) and the processor. If
installed, you must remove the smaller graphics heat sink before you can remove the larger
processor heat sink.
The graphics heat sink is secured with three Torx screws – two captured, one not captured. The heat
sinks share the one non-captured screw.
The processor heat sink is secured with five Torx screws – four captured, one shared, not captured.
Model 8300 may include a fan attached to the heat sink.
