k6-2 stuck to heatsink

[JML]

I wanna take a heatsink off a k6-2 in an old compaq, but it's glued on or something and I can't pry it off, will sticking it in the fridge help loosen it up?

[KILLorBE]

I think the thermal pad melted (pretty sure cuz I had that once.....K6-2 550).
To get it of you need to use pretty much force, sticking it in the fridge might make it a bit easier.

BUT since its a Compaq you never know, they might have glued it on the CPU.

Good Luck

thanks ;)

I've had in the freezer for a about 10 minutes now, I'll try and pry it off with a flathead screw driver in an hour

Try twisting it off first, and if you use the driver make sure you don't hit any traces or components on the circuit board with the opposite edge of it.:beer:

whats the compaq model? , i had a 475 k6-2 compaq umm i forget teh model , but it had a giga - byte GA 5SMM 0r GA 5smn the board is what finaly gave out , chip still works, survived 3.2 Vcore even.

also use the 2 multiplyer suposed k6-2s think its 6 , i never tested it cuase i cant .......

the FPU realy sucks on those things , but u know good file server and stuff

i still dont remmber the model , but i rember that i also had trouble takeing the heatsink off , some cooler master HSF

i didnt have to frezz it or any thing , just use a handy dandy screw driver to pop it off , and it had some weird blue stufff as thermal compound * shrugs *

Got the heatsink off with some prying after I took it out of the freezer, and then I took the heatspreader off! (this was not easy!) Without the spreader it looks a lot like a k7 with a slightly smaller die.

I use a FIC PA-2013 with my K6-2.

I popped the HSF off my old 450 Mhz K6-2 from my old compaq as well....difficult to get off...The blue glue easily scraped off the HSF though...I wasn't worried if i screwed it up though...i was just playing around...but i had to use a screwdriver as well...compaq had them suckers on there good and tight

i got my 475 to run @ 466 with a 133 FSB on the GA - 5Smm
