Who the puts glue on a processor anyways... pfft.

heat sink was probably thermal glued on.

unless it's blocking something i wouldn't mess with it
 
On the ceramic package part? Don't worry. It's not likely conductive or capacitive to any significant degree.

If there's glue on the surface that contacts the heatsink, maybe try acetone. If you do this, use paper towels or microfiber cloths, and wring or squeeze them out after even applying a wee little bit, so that you don't risk it dripping and causing damage.
 
go out to a hardware store and pick up some acetone.

Acetone goes yam yam to acrylic... which crazy glue is a form of.
So it will make things easier for you to scrape off once it goes yam yam.

True, I rubbed glue off my ex-GFs table with her professional nailpolish remover (which was acetone). The problem was that it also took the varnish and stain off that small part of the wood table, but it was still better than having a big pile of crazy glue on the kitchen table.
 
Okay ive ordered acetone and some 2500 grit sandpaper to polish the kinda awful looking heat spreader. Ill post a pic once ive finished with it.

No, it was the best x86 CPU only 15 years ago.

NT 4 + dual Pentium Pro in '96-'98 = :awe:

I remember my friends dad had a Pentium Pro running NT 4 and even though it looked just like Win95 none of my games worked on his computer. 🙁

dont even need sp..

1. Wear gloves.. acetone is nasty stuff, and the smell stays forever almost.

2. Soak acetone on cotton swab.

3. Put swab on glue residue.

Soak Glue residue, and then gently use a razor and just scratch it off.

You will notice the acetone going "yam yam" when the glue residue starts turing whitish opaque... meaning if its clear, it will start tinting white.

then you know its going to be easy to scrape off.

lol its a watercooling expression we use.

Because acetone and alcohol does exactly what it means on acrylic..
Yam yam yam... then it drys out and cracks and leaks.. and then your going wah wah wah.... 😛

Out of curiousity, is it the 60 or 66mhz version? The PPro in its day was incredible compared to the regular procs. Dual proc setups (which meant dual socket mobos in the day) for NT were great workstations. Hard to compare the PPro in todays markets. Maybe Itaniums?

Remember the Pentium II Overdrives?

lol Exactly! And us OG's even have the DX math coprocessors for our 386/SX 25 mhz procs. NEVER mess with a dude that has a math coprocessor or overdrive chip on the necklace. :ninja:
