Today's project was a 1999 Compaq Desk Top. How do you break down the Pentium 3 It has the black alum fin on top and haven't figured out how to remove it. Breakdown was fun. If I did my reading right and understood it, this is a model before the company was bought out my HP. No monitor was with it. Any advice with out damaging the Pentium 3?

sometimes they're stuck pretty well, might try a razor knife around it ever so carefully, and don't cut yourself! i've used knifes, or chisels, anything it took to get them apart.

I use a thin flathead screwdriver. Just pop it in and apply some leverage until it snaps off.
Also a well aimed hammer blow can help a lot. Fun huh? Mike.

I tried this awhile ago and shattered a $30/lb ceramic CPU. I'd try a razorblade or screwdriver insteadOriginally Posted by miked
There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
Which $30/lb cpu is in what I recognize and the normal heatsink/plastic housing used on Pentium 2 and 3 slot processors? At least I "assumed" the originator was asking about a slot processor.
The ceramic ones I have had stuck to the heat sink I also used a screwdriver or blade to break them apart. I did have three that were stuborn and I ended up breaking one, it was a ceramic pentium 1. I put the pieces in the bag with the other Pentium cpu's. Mike
Here's a photo of my last group of ceramic cpu's

i presumed it was a socket p3, i bought of those compaqs in 2000 and it was a p3 socket, but later with the different comments began to wonder myself which one he had
Bear thats why I used the "assumed" in quotes. I assumed I might be wrong, something I seem to be good at.
Mech, I truely never get tired of showing off. Thanks for noticing, Mike.

Great collection Miked. IK been working on some old Packard Bells, and they had 2 CPU's. 1 big, 1 small. Used a small flat head to pop out. These big office printers have been whipping my butt. So many screw's!

there are two stasinless strips on the back attached to the pegs in the heat sink, pry those off and the prosessor comes off.

Were you trying to break it away from the heatsink, or remove it from the board ? Looks like here a picture might have been worth a thousand words. Getting it off the board you need to release the spring leafs holding the heatsink in place(usually they just press down somehow to release the catches from the sides of it). Then unsnap the latch holding it to the motherboard. Then it should lift right out. Then, if you still need to separate the heatsink and CPU, see comments 1-11 lol

Oh, I thought he was referring to a normal processor. My mistake

I position a flathead screwdriver between the processor and the heatsink and just lightly tap the screwdriver with a hammer. The two will indeed separate.
