9800 AIW fan

[lbmcleod]

Hi, I've got an ATI all-in-wonder radeon 9800 pro 128Mb, its one of those heatsink fans with 2 nail-clip things holding it on - anyone know the best way to get these on/off? Is there a guide anywhere?

Thanks

I've got a 9800NP (not AIW) but I'm not sure what kind of heatsink you're talking about. Got a link of a pic somewhere?

Its the fan which cools the chip. here is a pic: AIW 9800

doesnt the clip come out on the other side and you can just push it in and pull the hsf off?

hah, they had to make it square. Pop the clips on the other side by squeezing them and then it should come right off, if it doesn't then, they used a pad.
