Finally, I've got to the point where I apply the Nano Diamond Thermal Compound! I was told that "it was held in by only two screws", which is correct. However, I had to remove six other screws, remove the harddrive, ssd and memory, gently pull the board out, and then unscrew the fan before I could get to those screws! Plus there's a third screw in the middle of the heat sink that keeps it attached to the mother board.
The NUC seems incredibly compactly designed. And that being the case, it's not so much adding the compound that's the issue now, but reassembling all the components correctly afterwards. I'll leave doing both until the morning. It's 8:30pm just now, and I'm a lot fresher in the morning, and this is better done in daylight!
