Anyone wanna show this one the light? If that's how you take 'em out...I'd hate to see how you put 'em in.

Lmao. I took the stock HSF out of my system today. It had the stock paste on it, and it was impossible to remove. I ended up ripping the entire CPU out of the socket, WITH THE BRACKET STILL CLOSED. Then I spent 10 minutes trying to wedge a razor blade between the CPU that was stuck to the HSF. Finally managed to get it off and literally thanked God that nothing was damaged.

run a cpu benchmark for a couplke of hours, then pull the HS/fan off. the heat will melt and loosen the paste

open taskmanager/ go to perfomance tab then at the top under view and cpu history go to one graph per CPU then if you have 2 graphs then go from there
EDIT: shoudnt this be in the hardware section?
