Remove the two plastic pins at each end and gently wiggle to remove the Sinks.

NOTE:
If the Upper Heatpipecooler is attached to the NB(middle heatsink) you will have four pins total and need to remove the unit as one piece.

I usually change the paste on New Mobos.. This is the first one i have not . I want to test the 550BE once it gets here since the Mobo is in a case. Temps seem to be very resonable on my MOBO with Stock heatsinks(blue Shields included)seeing i have a lot of Xflow in my case(2x120's going accross Mobo).
But cant i remove the heatpipe first or how is it attached to the heatsinks?
