removing stock NB cooler

N

I have a gigabyte GA-965p-S3 board and I planned on cooling the NB in my water loop. I tried to remove the cooler but it appears to be attached with a thermal pad or tape. My question is. Is it safe to use arcticlean to drip between the mobo and sink? Will that dissolve the pad/tape enough to get it off? I just don't want to damage the mobo at all.
 
Why don't you turn up the voltage on your NB, overlock the cpu with high FSB and whatever else that would stress the NB to generate heat and it should loosen up the bonding of the thermal pad.
