And make notes.

You do not need to worry obout the connectors. Just work carefully.

You have a big advantage over a new build. You are starting with a working computer. :)

Just remember the little locking levers on the main power, CPU, and video power cables. And don't do a "King Kong" snatch 'n grab. :) 


lol

i'm afraid to damage something, i never did like that.

btw.

i have 1 screw behind the cpu heatsink,
if i cant reach it then i'll forcely take off the heatsink,, here is my problem.

shoul i also take off the cpu to clean it and change the thermal paste?
or i just leave it fit to the mobo and clean it there?

When you get it put back together and it does not boot please make sure your power supply is turned on before you panic. I am sure that is happened to everyone on this forum at least once.
