Oh, I didn't dare to tinker with those clips, because I didn't know what they were. Thanks!

Even if you do not remove the heatsink, at least remove the fan and clean and oil it. (Though you will probably have to remove the block heatsink on opposite the fan—there are black, spring-loaded tabs holding it to the motherboard—look on the underside of the mobo to remove them—but at that point, you may as well just remove the heatsink the fan is attached to instead.)
