Firstly clip off the fan section of the CPU that is covering your current Intel heat sink. Now go raid your father's toolbox or your neighbour's garage for an Allen key. Insert this into the four Allen key studs in the heat sink. Here comes the fun bit. Find a flat-headed screwdriver and slide it in between the metal part of the case and plastic bit of the case near the corner studs.
Red circles show the location of the corner studs.
Lever them up gently, it should be relatively easy. These thumbnails came from the Hard OCP instructions on ripping your PII apart. If you need some further instruction on the process check it out over here . All rights reserved. IRC Post News Admin .
