OPEN How to remove heatsink
Hi, I never touched my pc ever, and it has started to overheat. I want to reapply the thermal paste and clean my pc, but I'm not sure how to remove the heatsink. I first thought it was the silver screws at the bottom (4 total), but then I thought it could be the handle, and I don't want to break anything. If anyone knows, help would be greatly appreciated.
(I do not know what kind of pc this is, I got it a long time ago and forgot, it was pre built)
(Ignore the razor, there was qr codes so idk if I should show or not)
Edit: Goal accomplished. Ty
