sending MOBO back
« on: September 30, 2008, 09:45:56 PM »
Sending it back due to some "odd" issues.My problem is I have an after-market SCREW-THRU the board type of heatsink fan cooler,not the usualy push-pins..

 It is an INTEl type socket,and the X part had some sticky stuff on it which  mounted to the bottom of the board..How easy is it to get this thing off without hurting the board??

                                                             Thanks,
                                                                    Falcon23 :salute

Hair dryer worked for me on an upgrade two years ago. Warm it up and it comes off. It didnt get too hot.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

falcon. the aftermarket heatsink fan is probably a good one. I liquid cooled and it has screw through the board instal. It works great and Im sure your fan will cool better!
