removing heatsink from cpu

[zes101]

i've got a micron pc w/ a duron 750 and i want to overclock but first i need to remove the heatsink from the cpu...how do i do this?

The heat sink/ fan should be held onto the mobo by a metal clip of some sort. Usually I use a small screw driver. I push down on the clip with a finger and use the screw driver to unhook it. The lever on the side of the socket is released so that the CPU can come out.

Hope that helps,

Does your micron pc's motherboard support OC features like adjustments for multiplier, voltage, and FSB? If not, it could take quite a bit of effort to OC that thing.
