Removing Thermal Pad from Chipset

[JustinSane]

Does anyone know how to get a thermal pad off of a chipset? It is on there good. Ive been rubbing alcohol on it and no luck. Please help.

Or, if you can't find that go buy a bottle of GOOF-OFF, a xylene based solvent.

Note that I said GOOF-OFF and not Goo Gone. Goo Gone is a citrus based cleaner and won't work worth a damn for this purpose.

Thank you. I got about 98% of it off. I'm just gonna put some paste on it and finish. This is ridiculous.

used this stuff for the first time yesterday and was amazed how well it works. this stuff is just awesome, best for cleaning computer parts. heck, also good for cleaning other surfaces, like finger prints on that nice chrome.
and it smells good.

Yup, and surprisingly enough it's really cheap for how long it lasts. It's a VERY good buy.
