olivers Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hello, So I bought my H60 for my new computer off amazon. Everything else i got from them was fine. I have an AMD prosessor so needed to change over from the intel to amd. But the screws are to tight to undo. They simple wont budge at all. Any advice or help on this matter? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpDFrek Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The four screws on the side of the pump housing that need to be removed require a smaller Phillips head to get out. They should not need a ton of force to get out, but they will require some motivation. If they will not come out at all, they may be frozen in place, but that would be the first time I have ever seen that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 24, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 24, 2012 Did you install the H60 your self or you bought the system pre built? those thumb screws does not require a lot of force to unscrew... using your own fingers should be more than enough.

parsec Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 If you can't unscrew them with your fingers, then use a tool. A small pliers or long nose pliers can be used to just get them started turning. Just be very sure you are turning them the right way, counter-clockwise, to loosen them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey guys, i believe he is talking about the phillips screws around the perimeter of the cooling block that you need to remove to change the mounting brackets to go to an AMD processor. Not the thumb screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsec Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Ya know, I think you're right. :o: So, SpDFre@k is right (too), and those small screws should come out easily with the appropriate sized screwdriver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamairdeano Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 the screws simply screw into plastic, so too tight would be strip tight. unless some already stripped them and set them with super glue, that'd be a bummer. airdeano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
