Step 1
Unplug the ASUS CPU Fan power cord from the motherboard and unscrew or unlock the connectors holding it down -- there is usually one in each corner. Pull it straight out of your computer case.
Step 2
Release the lever holding your CPU down, and then push the metal strips that were holding it down all the way back. Grip two corners of the CPU with two fingers, and then lift it straight out of the computer case.
Step 3
Set the CPU and CPU fan contact sides up on a clean paper towel. Dampen another paper towel or coffee filter with isopropyl alcohol, and then carefully wipe the thermal paste off the contact areas of your CPU and CPU fan. If necessary, dampen a cotton swab with the isopropyl alcohol to clean it out of any crevices it got into. When done, wait a moment for the CPU and CPU fan to dry completely.
Step 4
Put the CPU in the desired computer's CPU slot, and then lock it into place with the lever on the motherboard. Squeeze a small amount -- a bit smaller than pea-sized -- of new thermal paste onto the center of the CPU's metal plate.
Step 5
Position your CPU fan over the CPU, and then line up its four connectors with the four connections on the motherboard. Push it into place, and then lock the connectors in to secure it. The new thermal paste will spread to cover the contact areas on the CPU and ASUS CPU Fan. They are now ready for use.
