    so im trying to remove the cpu and gpu screws so i can replace the thermal paste as currently the only way i can play is with max fans and this is very annoying.

    can anyone who has removed those screws show me a picture of the screwdriver they used to remove it?

    i have tried 6+ different screwdrivers and none have worked......

    thanks...
