I can't tell. I was gifted this computer so I don't know what the heatsink is, and I've never actually removed a heatsink/chip before (but I'm not a dolt, I looked up how to do it first before attempting).
I wish I could post a picture, but there are 4 plastic tabs on each corner mounting the heat sink to the mobo. These plastic tabs have two parts, one is white/translucent plastic going into the mobo, and the other is a black plastic piece that connects the white part to the heat sink.
At this point I think my only option left is to remove the entire mobo and try to detach things from the rear.
Such a pain in the butt.
