Okay... heres the thing...

I have a gainward geforce3 ti200, and I already put a crystal orb on the gpu... the hsf came off without a hitch...

My problem is with the ramsinks... they freakin won't come off... I tried freezing... and despite the insane amount of force I applied to wedge the space between ramsinks and the ddr ram, they just won't come off...I accidentally took a speck out of one of the ram chips in the process... but the card still works... doesn't look like any permanent damage was done (benchmarks, games, run without problem, and all 64mb of ddr ram detects)... What the hell did they put on their?!?! Epoxy??? I really need help!!! Perhaps there is some sort of liquid solvent that you can reccomend that will gently dissolve whatever superglue is holding the ramsinks on the chips.....
