Hey, im looking to upgrade the processor in my pavillion.
I currently have an AMD 3650
The problem im running into is that the fan seems to be bolted down and i cant do anything to get it out,
someone please help me out before i have to end it all.
Here's a picture of it. http://puu.sh/lhf8Q/5c5c2bb641.jpg
 
Loosen the screws.

The heatsink has a THERMAL PAD that tends to stick things together.

Gently twist in a clock and anti-clockwise rotational direction, which creates a shear force in the thermal interface.

Failure to break the adhesion seal between the HSF and the processor may result in pulling the processor out of the socket, possibly resulting in processor and / or socket damage.

I suggest using some Artic Silver 5 instead of thermal pads in the future.
