How to remove thermal pad on FOP32-1

[micron]

My FOP32-1 should be arriving any day now, so I want to be ready when it comes. How do I remove the thermal pad?

Scrape off the most part of it with something like a plastic spoon (so as not to scratch up your pretty new HSF). Once you get most of it off, put some WD-40 on a cloth and scrub. It will come right off. Then take some rubbing alcohol and take off the WD-40. Now you should no thermal pad

Hope that helped

Would Goo-Gone work?

I use some stuff called Goof Off, it melts HS compound like butter.

JimMc is %100 correct! If you can find "Goof Off" it will take it right off! Thats what I used too. I wouldnt advise using it on the CPU core itself.
