removing heatsink from VGA

so i removed the fan first, then i removed 2 sticks taht were holding down the heatsink, and not it won't come off like if it is stuck with the cpu of the video card, so what do you recommend me to do without ****ing up anything?

 

bump

 

Without looking at it it's hard to give a recommendation. If it's stuck, nobody is going to tell you to pry it off. I would recommend maybe an alcohol pad around the edges to see if that helps. Make sure there is nothing else visible securing it down. All video cards and their heatsinks are different. I would also make sure the card you have is able to be converted.

 

let us know the make and model of your card

 

here goes w/e

sapphire

radeon 9800 atlantis 128m 128bit ddr

PN - 1024-1c47-00-sa
PCB# 35-fc47-r0-00
SKU# 11016-01
SN - a042500072913

i hope this information was helpful.

 

inthing is securing it down, i have removed it, the heatsink is just tightly attached to the cpu of vga , wat you mean by the card i have is able to be converted ?

 

its the thermal paste. just pull it off

make sure u have all the screws off though lol. if it can kinda wiggle, like if u try to twist it lightly, then its just the thermal paste
