Hello Everyone,
I have recently received a computer that someone built for me. After turning it on, I found out that the CPU temperature was rising up to 100oC during stress. I concluded that this may be because there is no thermal paste or that the heat sink is mounted incorrectly. I cannot currently get into contact with the person who built the computer for me and I wish to remove the heatsink and check it out. Unfortunately, I do not know how to remove it as it is an aftermarket heatsink from some Chinese company. I have included pictures of it below. Anyone know how I would remove it? I don't want to tamper and break something.
Thanks!
