Any tips on removing the board from the plastic case and aluminum heat sink?

flat head screwdriver works really well. the plastic pops off quite easily. And once you break the plastic off, just use the screw driver to pry the flimsy brackets off the heatsink.

Doesn't pop off easily for me. Feels like I'm going to crack the green board. Maybe I'm prying in the wrong spot. I'll try to find a YouTube video of someone doing it.

I've done a few dozen in the last couple of weeks. Each one gets easier. its more about getting underneath the plastic enough to pop the brackets and keep moving along until you get get some space for your fingers. then just rip the plastic off.

You are doing it the hard way :=)
At the top of the processor are 2 tabs. Push these in, hard. It is OK if they break off.

Remove any metal clip holding the 2 halves together.

At the edge, find the indent in the plastic. Insert a flat blade screwdriver, and twist.

Everything pops apart, takes less than 1 minute once you get proficient.
