I am returning my motherboard(KN1 extreme) and I need to uninstall the CPU and heatsink. The heatsink is the standard one that comes with the AMD 64 3000+ and I have unhooked both side hooks that attach to the motherboard. This was my first time builing a computer and I was surprized at how easy it was to install the CPU and heatsink. Now, I am equally surprized at how strong the bond is between the two. How hard should I have to pull on the heatsink? Right now I feel like i am putting a lot of force on it and it's not coming up. I'm a little worried to try any harder. Is this normal? Thanks.
