Picture thanks to JSI Hardware. Once you have identified those clips, which are located between the heatsink and which connect to the bottom plate of the PIII which holds the heatsink and the chip.

Hey, I'm having difficulty removing the Intel CPU fan that came with my computer. It's way too loud so I ordered a Zalman fan compatible with my motherboard.
My motherboard is an ASRock socket 775, and my processor is Intel Pentium D (x2 CPUs). The Zalman fan came today, so I had a look at the Intel fan and tried to remove it. There are 4 fasteners on the fan that you have to rotate and then they pop up, which I have done, they are still fixed down, covering screws I guess?
How can I remove the fan and heatsink to allow me to install my new Zalman one?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
