    Ok, one thing, don't do anything unless you're absolutely sure!

    You can open your laptop and have a look around first, and if you're not sure where everything is, STOP and DON'T MESS AROUND!

    The thing is the Farrari uses:
    Processor: AMD Turion 64 (or X2)
    Chipset: ATI Express X200M (aka Northbridge)
    Graphics: Various (X1600 ish)

    but considering its Acer, the heatpipe layouts probably are similar. Consult this guide for the Aspire 5672 (Core Duo, i945PM, X1400/1600) by SSX:
