I was able to clean out the exhaust area, but now i have another problem. I can't seem to get the heatsink off. it looks like it's crimped onto the processor. There's a clamp over it, but even with it unscrewed, it doesn't budge. I need to get it off to apply thermal paste, but how can i get it off?
Any ideas?

Thanks.
