I own a GA-n650SLi-DS4L
I successfully removed the northbridge cooler to clean the dry thermal paste and apply a fresh new one. Though I we're struggling to open the southbridge, It had no screws, but something like plastic nails with strings holding the cooler on the mobo, I checked from below and there was like thick plastic arrows holding the cooler and its impossible to remove them without destroying them. Any help?
 
Solution
you do not need to take of the heatsink on the southbridge it does not get that hot to replace thermal paste or heatsink.although if you want to use needle nose pliers and be careful.
