Replacing Pins (S775)

[Marcvs]

Thanks to my grandad who dropped his Scythe heatsink while i was cleaning it I need to change a couple of the pins on it - I have an old intel stock cooler - Anyone know a safe way to swap these out?

Many Thanks

I dont know how to undo stock pushpins, its obviously possible. I believe you can buy them on ebay, ones that click together.

You just turn them and pull up, look at the groove on the white plastic. I did this for my Xigmatec and it worked.

By dooing this u can take them apart?

[mrt9888]

The black part is removed from the white part and then you put it on the other heatsink.

now im really confused split he black part in half?

i dont this would be easy to do, have u tried contacting scythe about it

They're really easy to pop apart, just have a look at one and it should become apparent what you need to do .

I tried but I couldnt pop the black and white part apart without damaging the pin in the process - no matter now I just threw on an intel stock cooler and ill buy some spare pins sometime when I feel like it .

I'd still try emailing scythe if i were you cuz they are sometimes quite nice. I lost a back plate i/o shield for my mobo and they asked me to send a stamped envelope for a free replacement. granted its not scythe but no harm to try.
