Firstly, Hello
Im wanting to upgrade my current processor - P4 2.8 ghz to a recently purchased Pentium D 3.4 ghz.
However, im having troubles removing the old processor. i can easily detach the fan by unscrewing it, except the power cable seems 'stuck' to the mobo, it may just need some force. But i cant seem to remove the main part (sorry i have no idea whats it called. lots of metal things protacting the processor)
This is what it looks like:
And the new processor and fan:
Help is greatly appreciated.
