while holding in the sides (red), press it down (blue)

if you're too retarded to figure out how to take those off you have no business removing your cooler

OP here
changes something if the PCB is blue and not green as in your image?

>>59314267
yes, the pcb must be green
the tool used also must be red, and you must use blue colored force to push it down

>>59314277
dubs confirm. Sorry OP, I guess you're shit out of luck.

Thank you, it worked.
Seems like it had nothing to do with holding the PCB actually, but the heatsink it was holding was dusty anyway so i got to clean it.

>it had nothing to do with holding the PCB actually, but the heatsink
what did you think it held?

protip: if you removed the heatsink, you will need to clean off the old thermal paste/pad and apply new paste, dry paste is not reusable

>>59314075
Use scissors and cut it, then when you're done just cable tie it. kek.

I thought it held the pcb and cooler together.
I did replace the thermal paste, but i don't think i need to replace the thermal pads? I don't have any anyway, but temperatures under furmark are looking pretty good so far
