Removing Standard Intel HSF

[Seuss]

Anyone know where I can find a good guide on removing the Stock Intel HSF off a Socket 370 CPU, that or some good tips... really having some probs getting this stupid thing off and don't want to wreck the chip. Thx

I believe there was a guide in the Overclocker's database...!

search google, i had seen an article on that.....

That article is in beginner guides. Don't damage that chip!!

Heh, where exactly is that guide... looked through all the guides in the beginners section and couldn't find it.... anyways I tried fiddling around with it trying to get one of the clips off and accidently slipped and jammed a pair of needle nose pliers into the mobo scratching it a little, luckily it still works fine but I've decided to take a break until I can get some solid instruction on how to go about removing this thing safely.

At the moment I don't have a replacement for this HSF, if I did I'd just cut off one of the clips with some pliers and take the whole thing apart but I'd like to reuse it for awhile until I can find a good replacement, so any help is still much appreciated at this point :)
