How to remove artic thermal glue

[Mir96TA]

I need to remove copper heat sinker from memory
Those heat sinker applied through artic thermal glue
So I can RMA the card
Please advise me what to do
here is the Pic

Try a razor blade. Gently work the blade up against the under side of the RAMsink and work it back and forth. Keep the blade angled up against the base of the RAMsink and not down toward the RAM chip. Take your time. After (if it works) use acetone to neutralize the glue.

acetone is it a rubbing alchool ?

Do you have the crystals?

Hehehe... seriously... if you broke the card, suck it up and buy a new one. Don't try to undo the modifications you've made which voided the warranty.

I never even over clocked at card
the worst work out this card is done

[Parkre]

Stick it in the freezer (in a anti-static bag of course). They should practically fall off.
I did this with my ti4600 and they came right off.

this is what I did, works great. Leave it i there for a little while so the adhesive has time to break

 

[Mir96TA]

I left it there for a 1 hr
How much of the time I should leave it there

 

[Mir96TA]

Is this card made in China or Indonesia ?
Here is Da Pic

 

[nitromullet]

It says it's made in Indonesia right on the card...

Edit: As well as China...

LOL, sorry missed the small print.

Maybe the card is made in China, but the Phillips component (isn't that the TV-in?) is made in Indonesia...
