Ok, I've searched google and search in here doesn't work.
I'm trying to figure out how to remove the plastic standoff mounting from the board.
This is the one that the retail heatsink rests on..
Anyone?
 
Just remove the 4 small grey pins from the outer corners of the top side. I use a small pair of wire cutters to get underneath the head of the pin. After you remove the small pins just flip the MOBO and compress the retention pins from the rear... GL:)

yup..
thermalright has a nice pdf showing how to do it..it's the same as removign the heatsink from my 9700pro..
just wanted to make sure I was doing it right before I broke something to begin with.
thanks
 
I should probably start a new thread for this..
I'm getting some weird lockups.
System runs for a couple minutes, then monitor blanks off.
was able to update to the latest bios and still same thing.
Powers on, booting up, and then pops off.
system still running but it's dead at that point in time.
Numlock doesn't flash, nothing.
Power off then back on and it's fine for a minute or two again.
anyone have any idea's?
