Hi!
I am the happy (??) owner of a K7SOM+ motherboard. Just after I bought it I realised that it made a lot of noice and yet did not manage to stay cool enough (>75 C). It even turned itself of because it got so hot!! I bought a Arctict Cooling to remedy the problem. It turned out there was more to remedy. Alas, poor me, the heatsink seems to be glued to the processor!
What can I do? I have tried to use ethanol to dissolve the glue so that the heatsink can e removed, it was done in vain, the heatsink is still there...
Please, please help me, I can not use a computer that sounds like a tornado at its best and tuns itself off at its best.
