Removing a[B]n[/B] AM3 heatsink.
undo the clips i am pretty sure
Make sure you got some thermal paste ready when you remove it or you won't be using the rig anytime soon.
AMD heatsinks just have a clip, Just, flip the leaver lift it up and pull it out. Jiggle it slightly just incase the paste acts as a glue and rips out the processor. That happened to me, bent a row of pins, Its fixed now :/
Kinda rotate it cause otherwise you put the cpu out of the socket sometimes.
