I started to try to re-apply thermal paste and it didn't take long to run into a problem.
I have an AMD heatsink - not sure if it's stock, I assume so for AMD 965 II. Two issues.
1. there's a lever, but the limited amount I can pull it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm at the point of whether to force it or not, which will either break it or be what's needed to operate it.
2. There are 4 screws around the base of it to the motherboard. I'm not sure if they're part of the heatsink or not, whether I should remove them, whether it's needed. I'll post a pic if needed, bit of a hassle.
