| How to take off CPU and heak sink off of Quadra motherboard |
Posted by: habibrobert on 2016-12-11 01:45:40
Hey everyone,
I'm having some trouble removing the heatsink on my Quadra mother board. I see two little notches on either side of the heat sink and am guessing that's where it is latching onto the cpu housing. It looks like it's on there pretty good and I'm not sure how to get it off without risking to damage the nearby traces. Can anyone offer me some advice on how to go about this?

You need to pry a small flat head screwdriver on each clip, do one side first (two clips) and it should come away easily.
