eclipsera Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 ok i bought a volcano9 with "coolmod" and want to know how to get my heatsink off of my cpu. so i can put on the new one. i used the stuff that came on the old ehatsink when installing, how do i remove the heatsink, should i run Ud SETI, and 3dmark to ehat it up. then immediately shutoff and try that way? or simpler way?

Vashious Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 No, all you have to do is use a screw driver to unhook the clip on the stock hsf....but some of the clipping mechanisms on stock hsf are so flimsy that you could probably do it just by pressing down and pulling out the clip. Once you get the old hsf off I'd suggest using a qtip to get off most of the thermal residue off the processor, and then finish cleaning it up with a qtip that has been dampened with rubbing alcohol. Then you just install the new hsf! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
