Removing P4 heatsink..

Rick LV · Oct 31, 2003

What a pain. Anyone have any tips on removing it?

well if you used the stock rubber pad, turn on the pc. let the cpu warm up then pull it off and shut off the computer after you pull it off. that should make the release easy but remember to shut off the computer or your cpu might cook itself.

I have the one with the 2 clips.

Here's a screenshot of the instructions from Intel itself:

Thanks, I had searched Intel's page, but couldn't find anything.

OMG, I can't nelieve someone actually said to remove the heatsink with the computer still running. Please, nobody ever do that unless you want to ruin stuff.

my exact thoughts....

be careful not to let the screwdriver slip and hit the mobo.

I thought P4 turns off when it gets to hot? Or wait is that the mobo doing it instead? Still i wouldent take it off while its running. Its abit crazy if you ask me, run it for a while, turn it off then take it off.

ummm i think the mobo shuts down, but thast only some... p4s only do thermal throttling (sp?)
