ok so new case came today woohoo lian li pc-7b it's nice and all so i decided to switch out my current rig (p4.18ghz gateway) into it for the time being until the cpu/video card come since i already have a dfi mobo ocz ram and enermax psu.
ok so while trying to get the mobo out of the old computer (stupid me) was holding on to the hsf. now this is a stock hsf so i tried to get it off and after i removed the brackets holding it down i tried to remove it twisting(or trying) to get it off but no luck somehow RRRRRIIIIIPPPP hsf+cpu come out of the mobo. right now im freaking out all the pins are still 100% fine but stupid gateway used somekind of adhesive that has this thing stuck to it. so i tried goo-gone bc that's what google said and after two tried it has had no help. just gotten all messy with the gray stuff all on the bottom of the hsf.
so what do i do? this like really blows right now.
edit:yea i did a quick search but since i cant heat it up from the computer(its out) could i use a lighter or something on the top of the heatsink to heat it up? that seems really risky.
