how do you get the clip off of a heatsink to remove it from the processor? i cant seem to figure it out. its intel celeron if you need to know that.

take a flat head screw driver, insert it into the notch above the clip,push down on the top of the retension clip with your finger, then pry outwars with the screw driver
 
That or if you have some plyers that'll fit, that'll sometimes work quite well. However you do so, be careful. It's very easy to over do it and tear up the mobo
