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....

😱😀
 
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.
