Removing arctic silver or regular epoxy from RAM/GPU?
 

Is there a way to remove heat sinks that have been glued onto RAM or GPUs without using nasty chemicals or heavy machinery? I don't want to take a chance :nono:

I have heard that putting the card into the freezer for a while will make the epoxy become non-sticky.

I alway use a screwdriver to remove the heatsinks, I don't use the power of the freezer :)
Put it under the sinks and twist gently, do this on different sides of the sink, it will pup up if you got lucky :)

place a creditcard under the screwdriver to protect your card from cratching.

you could, but if you've got problems or if you worry removing it ,(eg rich b had to use very much force to remove the hs of his gf1ddr) you can put it in the freezer to reduce the risk (dont forget the antistatic bag)
