p111 HeatSink-Processor

[atc_traffic856]

A little problem with HeatSink Clip >
The type of clip is spring fashion whereas you have a double space on the back end and single on front// the difficulty rises when I am trying to remove the heatsink// the spring clip is requiring to much force to push down in order for me too free it from the processor housing clip, would there be a easier way of removing this clip, I am leary of putting to much pressure on it and damaging the CPU or the MB>
I might as well refer this question to: I am doing another P111, and installing the processor // when I place the processor aligned with the 370 socket no 1 pin >> Should the processor align directly horizontal on the socket, and then use the no force lever to secure the cpu into the socket??

Thank you all for your support>>

Sometimes old heatsinks can be troublesome to remove. Try this: put a piece of cardboard onto a sturdy hard table (wood tables are fine as long as they don't wobble) and then put the mobo on the cardboard. That should keep the mobo flat enough that it won't bend or break. Remove the heatsink normally.

ZIF socketed CPU's all work the same. Lever goes up (about 90 degree angle), CPU goes in (it should drop right in), then lever goes down. That's it. Very easy.

Hey Saph >> Yes thank you, it work as the cardboard has alittle give// but accomplished. Yes all cpu's with z/force work the same, unfortunately the one I have is alittle off, so the pins near the no. 1 position pin are out a little>>
what is happening as I position the cpu in the sock - 80% of it sort of drops in except a small portion of the front end// nevertheless I must try to zero the pins >> but yes thankyou for your help>>

Oh, if some of the pins are bent, just straighten them out as best as you can. Then, just shove the CPU into the socket! :p I know it sounds brutal, but bent pins never do go back to being perfectly straight. As long as the pins are near enough to straight, they'll line up with the proper hole. Just shove the CPU into the socket.
