I got a FX6800 from my dad after a house fire. The heatsink that came on it has some rusting on the mounting screws, and the copper pipes are kind of too. I bought a i7 965 cooler (nice for an OEM and inexpensive), which has the normal Intel push pins, but the Gateway OEM heatsink has screws with a backplate. I'm going to be taking it all apart when my new case gets here, but don't want to remove the heatsink if that back plate is glued on and will wreck the mobo if I forcably remove it. Just seeing if anyone has removed the OEM Gateway heatsink, and if it was a problem.
