Hey guys, i need help installing socket 775 hsf to the motherboard.
I'm using stock intel hsf (round one with curved fines) but i think i have pushed couple of pins bit too far and i can't seem to get it back out. motherboard looks bit bent, i tried to pull the pins out but having trouble with it.. any help would be much appreciated.
 
The pins holding the HSF to the motherboard can be rotated to unlock. Simply rotate the pins using a standard head screwdriver.

How bent does the motherboard look? I just installed mine yesterday and I was amazed at how much force you had to use to lock the HSF to the motherboard... :eek:
