The levers just loosen the heat sink, you need a flat blade screwdriver to push out the clamps on the ends (where the heatsink meets the mobo connectors on all four corners), so it'll come off easily.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

depends on the quality of the plastic after all this time. If it's degraded and become brittle, then it could snap. But it was designed to hold it in place, so it will be quite tight.

 

watch the video linked above and just do what they do

If it's been there for a very long time, the paste might act like glue.

Be very careful, twist it a bit side to side once you've removed the clips.

without a model name/number of the board, that's quite impossible

Model of the board is printed on it. You are luckty if you find any manuals for it. As for FP connectors, they are at bottom edge of the board. All your pictures are only showing top of the board, so can't really use thoe to point them.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^
