Hey I was wondering how you remove those screws that look like they are stripped inside whatever case. They look like they're circles instead of star or flat. Do I need a special tool????

They're rivets. You'll have to drill them out to remove whatever panel or cage. You can always use screws to re-attached whatever you took off.

Just take a drill bit 1-2 sizes larger than the hole in the 'head' of the rivet (the round part with no screwhead on it) and drill into it. This will cut the head off and the back of the rivet will pop out.

Going Broke Overclocking

Usually there 1/8''
Sometimes the rivet will spinn before its drilled through and you may have to either... 1. Hold the other side with a plier or... 2. If you can't access the other side lean or rock the drill slightly to the left and right and I do mean slightly.

A. Use bolts/nuts or B. You buy new rivets (and a rivet gun) and reinstall new rivets. Unfortunately rivets are a one time use connector.
