Anyone got any idea's on how to remove a heat sink from the processor.
The processors a intel core 2 duo, so it's locked to the motherboard and the latch is under the heat sink.
I've tried a thin wire, twisting, and using boinc for an hour to heat the processor up. All failed.
The case is a shuttle SD37P2, so it's really small, and cramped so can't get in to do much.
Will try a hair dryer tomorrow, and if all fails will have to live with the E6400, and stick the E8200 into the new mail server
UPDATE [8pm 15/3/8]: Managed to get it unstuck. Played Crysis for 3 hours and twisted. That did the job. Turns out that my motherboard doesn't support the E8200 processor, so it's going back.
O well. The server will have to have a cheap Core 2 Duo.
