So, today I found out that I need to send my mobo back to manufacturer for defect.
Taking everything apart (which sucks to begin with) and now the heat sink wont even budge to lift from cpu.
I've tried it all..
Powering the unit up with the heat sink not plugged in, and what sucks is that it wont even get hot because the mobo is stuck in reboot loop!! HAHA, hilarious.
So I decided to pull out the 'ol hair blower, this puppy gets pretty hot. Applied long enough so that I can't even touch the heat sink and needed to use a towel. But still, NOT EVEN A BUDGE.
Now..... What can I get under there to try and get through the thermal paste? DENTAL FLOSS!!!! Holy shit I'm a genius! NOPE! Used about half the roll and all it does is break after a minute of rubbing.. I tried to add the hair dryer heat while I did it, nothing.
I NEED to send this mobo back to manufacturer!! BUT HOW AM I GOING TO REMOVE THE HEAT SINK!?!??!
Has anyone EVER encountered this issue?? If so, please share with my the remedy, because I'm losing it over here.... It's been a TERRIBLE day.
