Documentation: *major* cleanup.
Cleanup was long overdue. Old structure was messy and inefficient.

+ <p>
+ Remove those screws:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0000.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Push the keyboard forward (carefully):<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0001.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Lift the keyboard up and disconnect it from the board:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0002.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Grab the right-hand side of the chassis and force it off (gently) and pry up the rest of the chassis:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0003.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You should now have this:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0004.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Disconnect the wifi antenna cables, the modem cable and the speaker:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0005.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Unroute the cables along their path, carefully lifting the tape that holds them in place. Then, disconnect the modem
+ cable (other end) and power connection and unroute all the cables so that they dangle by the monitor hinge on the right-hand
+ side:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0006.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Disconnect the monitor from the motherboard, and unroute the grey antenna cable, carefully lifting the tape
+ that holds it into place:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0008.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Carefully lift the remaining tape and unroute the left antenna cable so that it is loose:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0009.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove those screws:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0011.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove those screws:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0012.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Carefully remove the plate, like so:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0013.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remove the SATA connector:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0014.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Now remove the motherboard (gently) and cast the lcd/chassis aside:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0015.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Look at that black tape above the heatsink, remove it:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0016.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Now you have removed it:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0017.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Disconnect the fan and remove all the screws, heatsink will easily come off:<br/>
+ <img src="../images/x60_heatsink/0018.jpg" alt="" />
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Remove the old paste with a cloth (from the CPU and heatsink) and then clean both of them with the <i>alc<a></a>h<b></b>oleel</i> (to remove remaining residue. typo is intentional).
+ Apply a pea-sized amount of paste to the both chipsets that the heatsink covered and spread it evenly (uniformally).
+ Finally reinstall the heatsink, reversing previous steps.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>stress -c 2</b> command can be used to push the CPU to 100%, and <b>xsensors</b> (or <b>watch sensors</b> command) can be used to monitor heat.
+ Below 90C is ok.
