Remove Heat sink from CPU?

I’ve did a brief search on the interweb, but I can’t see how this is possible?

I have a Stock heatsink on an AMD chip. I am RMA’in the Mobo back, but the damn thermal glue crap is stuck on well. I can’t get the Heatsink off of the chip :confused: I don’t want to yank or pry too hard.

Anyone know a good way to remove a heatsink from a CPU?

^You used some sort of thermal epoxy?

the one that came with the stock heatsink. Can’t avoid it. It is why its stuck :confused:

nvm, i just kinda twisted it a little and got it off ._.;

do it while its running so its heated up :lol:

twist it while its hot.

Next time just use grease not that glue crap.
