    I would devalue your boards if you not remove the heatsink... and the cpu plate from the bottom.. It cost Me money to refine it by the pound.. why pay for example 2.00 per pound per say for alum heatsink.. or metal on the bottom of the boards... So yes... I would devalue the boards, it cost Me money in labor to remove them so I don't get charge for sumthing that only value at 50 cents per pound and be charged 2.00 per pound per say.
