How do i remove the fan on AMD stock heatsink

Forgot about that one, but you should be able to fit a flathead screwdriver in the gap and pry the tabs back(while pulling the fan up)

u dont need to touch the fan at all, its just loosen on there... u just need to pop the plastic clips to the sides ( away from its clipping slot )

 

i can pop them with knives too ( not recommended if u dont know how haha )

check this.. imagine the red line is the screwdriver, the yellow(push screwdriver down thus causing leverage, to the heatsink) is the leverage and the green is where u put the flat tip ( press it under the plastic )

 

should easily pop off once u know how ( had troubles in the begin too but now il pop em in seconds )

ALright, your method worked

It is really flush against the metal

yeh u gotta press it under with a lil bit of force and then pop it off ( its not like its fragile btw that plastic couldnt break even if ud try prolly )

 

ima search in my closet for one of those heatsinks  ( will be funy to make a vid of it since ppl dont believe its possible )

 

edit: missed making my vid coz u got it ( was excited for this one.. was actually a funny one lol )
