Most of the time it's attached to the heatsink. You'll see a lever on most boards, pull or push it and it will sort of pop off. the processor is right underneath.

Could you post a pic of youir heatsink and fan on your processor?

Indeed, a picture will indicate us what type of heatsink/fan you have. Or, do you know what type of CPU socket it is?
