- can NOT see a way to remove heat sink retention screw assembly,
- with out breaking/destroying same.
- screw is below the shaft of retention screw;
- [shaft runs the height/length of heat ink],
- and is non accessible without retention screw removal;
- [non accessible with traditional TORX screwdriver].

Want to remove heatsink from Slot 2 PIII 700/2m
and replace on slot 2 PIII 900/2m's.

Sure someone has resolved this problem.
- HP support has no solution & does NOT recommend remove/replace of heatsinks.
- HP recommends buying compete CPU/heatsink.

Your help is greatly appreciated !!

Upgating from 4X PIII 700/2m to 4X Pii900.2m's
.
- Intel reference is not helpful

- eMailed Foxconn maker of heatsink
. no answer for 1.5 weeks

- HP support says do NOT do.

Hi,

4X Pii900. you are going to buy from intel and fix this old heat sink then boot up the bx.
Can you share the snap shot of other side procesr like bothside.
Because if you see the processor blank it tells how the heat sink will be attached to the processr.

I am not sure. But if you can share snaps for all sides of processor since i dont have with i can guess, or some else on forum can suggest something.
