Mounting HSF question

[GasX]

How do you remove the thermal pad so that you can apply ASII? Do I just scrape it off or is there a better way?

I have heard of people putting their HS in the toaster oven at a low temp until the thermal material liquifies and then just wiping it off, followed by a cleaning with rubbing alcohol. I have never tried it and don't necessarily recommend this, but I figured I'd pass the info along. Alot of people also just scrape it off with a razor blade, but be careful with this--you don't want to scratch the HS! Good luck.

Gee - that wasn't too hard....

 

[Epsil0n00]

how did you do it, and how did that technique work for you?

One razor blade pass and it peeled off in one piece. I just need to wipe it off with some alcohol and I am off to the races
Thanks, dude.
