Why did you use a synthesized voice? I could hear sound, so you do have a mic. Unless, of course, you cannot use your voice, or (you believe that) your speech is too unclear.

Hardcore, Microsoft Sam!

thank you stephen hawking!!!!

[juniortore1]

I also dont feel like removing all of my cards (graphics, sound) just to have easy access.

Anyway, nice video and good job with the MS sam talking

Its a pain in the ass to remove a Pentium 4 heatsink! You have to push them clips with a screw driver and once you get 2 done... you go to the other side and try and you end up pushing in the ones you just removed! I appreciate my Athalon XP 1800 heatsink way better but I like the Pentium 4 because it is newer and faster. Just a bitch to get that cat hair out of the fins and no, an air compressor doesn't get it all out the way it is designed!

[GetMerkedHD]

@juniortore1 having the same problem did you get it done ? 

[juniortore1]

@GetMerkedHD Yep, eventually I got it to come off with a screw driver. Then I had to remove all of the screws on the heatsink itself to get to the fins of the heatsink to clean it. Its still a pain, but I dont do it often.

@juniortore1 try removing a 370 socket heatsink its a lot harder. i find removing 478 socket heatsinks easy.

[juniortore1]

@thoughtsofglought No thanks, if its harder, I will pass xD

[thoughtsofglought]

@juniortore1 well its almost impossible to remove with out damaging the socket or the heatsink. socket A and 370 had the worst heatsink mounting ever.

[lookbacktime]

@juniortore1 --Yeah, undoing those four clips is ridiculously awkward, especially if the mobo is still in the case. I always need a screwdriver to pry them out.

[juniortore1]

@lookbacktime Ya, I am thinking of sticking another fan / heatsink on it. I am tired of when I want to clean the fan, I need to take the whole thing apart to get to the heatsink, and then waste yet more expensive arctic silver. I hope it fits, as it has the metal push clip things to put it on. But I dont know if I would have to change the whole heatsink mount.

[ysangkok]

when you removed the heatsink you also removed the CPU. might want to mention this...

also i think you're a little rough on it generally. doesn't matter when your mobos broken, but people might want to do this on equipment they want to keep working... :D

[tigrica16]

Thanks!

[andzha16]

i wish i've saw this before :) i've broken it last year lol

[seethootss]

@ysrmik I like the computer voice, reminds me of the future. i want that voice to tell me what to do at all times.

[Skooligan]

I wish I'd seen that before I broke mine !

[cyrusuk007]

[brianthesnail1234]

hi mate where is the skt 478 cpu,i noticed you never fitted any cpu before fitting the heatsink and fan and when you removed the heatsink/fan assemely there was no cpu fitted,i have mentioned this as i plan to remove my pentium 4(skt 478) cpu and if i simply remove the heatsink and fan as shown without releasing the actuation arm i will wrip the cpu from its socket,this is the main problem with this mobo,you cant get to the arm as the heatsink covers it...please advide cheers

[lookbacktime]

@brianthesnail1234 -- You are right. With the stock Intel thermal interface material, removing the heat sink usually results in the CPU coming out as well stuck to the bottom. It's happened a few times to me. Bad design by Intel. This doesn't seem to happen if something like Arctic Silver has been applied however.

[souljanp]

kinda sound like a robot lol tnxx

[mugre1256]

good, thanks.

[bramarocking]

nice
