Help me get my heatsink off my CPU [$3 BTC]

[Blazed]

Grab a pair of needle nose pliars and grip the bracket right above the hole that attaches to the socket. Very gently pull down towards the socket and then outward once it has clearance. Take your time and do this very slowly. You should be able to pull it down just enough to let it release.

I can mark your picture if you are not clear on where to grab it.

push the lever towards the ram to unlock it

then press down on the top of the leaver towards the montherboard and unclip the silver metal bar under the clip from the plastic that goes through it

next twist the heatsink from side to side gentle and pull up

Was going to give the BTC to BlazedOut but he told me this, "Just keep it - glad it worked. I have had that happen before in the past."... I wouldn't feel right not giving it to anyone so KnightDK gets it since he helped too.

TXID

Thanks for all the help everyone that replied...
