Comment: I had a CPU fan go out on me. I removed the fan, but cannot figure out how to remove the heatsink. It's a Socket370 PGA.
Is there a certain technique or tool I'm supposed to be using?
Thanks

Reply: (edit)Normally, the heatsink fan stay as a unit to snap on and off. A long, thin flat tip screwdriver is usually the tool of choice. Here's a link that may help you even tho it's an AMD heatsink, they should be similar. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_3734_4348^6678,00.html Clyde
