Without knowing the CPU type, the socket type (or slot type),
the way the fan was mounted, the shape of the heat sink, or what
(if any) type of a "shroud" directs air over the CPU, it is not possible
to give detailed cleaning instructions.
(Just make sure that you put back "properly" anything you take off...)
I might have mentioned I use AMD and they are brain-dead simple
to clean. I removed the fan screws to clean the heat sink. I did not want
to "deal with" changing the "bubblegum" transfer material or re-grease
the CPU, (depending on which way I had "done it" last time...)
Mine was packed with so much dirt it looked like it was partly covered
with a rug... I have digital pictures if anyone wants them.
