I cant seem to get the pins out. It's an arctic cooling freezer 7

I can't. They are absolutely stuck fast :(

I'm not particularly bothered about the board, but there's a Q6600 there that I dont really want to chuck. Cant get it out with the cooler bracket on.

EDIT Got it. Had to whack the pins out with the bottom of a screwdriver. Crazy if the board still works!!

i bought an arctic freezer that had that retention plate - never again...

i resorted to using pliers and breaking up the clips to get the retention plate off...

if you do it slowly and carefully, youll be fine :)
