    There are no hidden screws so it is just taking off the back panel and then the screws holding the heatsink down.

    If you are really unsure then I think this covers it:

    It's the same process for all of them, extremely simple.

    Place an X pattern for the GPU and a line for the CPU. These are the most reliable patterns to get total coverage.

    Thin line centered on the long side of the CPU, X on the GPU core.
