Are there really pins that I need to turn or do I do something else?
Ok, I finally got the heatsink off of the CPU.
I think I might know what you are talking about now but I will post a pic.
Do most socket 478 boards already have the plastic peice to connect the heat sink to?
I'm still not sure if taking that plasic peice out is possible, here is a pic of it.
