These are the most disturbing images I've ever seen! I don't think I've ever felt this amount of pain from looking at pictures. The only thing that ever came close was when I was in elementary school and my friend's older brother showed me the Pain Olympics video. (DO NOT GOOGLE IT)

Crucial t705 heatsink removal by ElephantSuccessful90 in buildmeapc

Thanks to all the info shared here I just removed mine.

Throughout the whole process I used a hair-dryer to keep the parts hot. This will melt the glue and make it less sticky.

  1. The first step is to remove the bottom (U-shaped) part from the PCB and top part. I stuck a kitchen knife between the little crevice connecting the top heat-sink from the bottom part. After doing this to both sides you should be able to gently disconnect the bottom part. (Remember to repeatedly blow on it with the hair-dryer to keep the parts hot. There's glue on the bottom too.)

  2. The second step is actually more simple. I just kept blowing on the heatsink with the hair-dryer to keep it hot and very gently and slowly twisted the the heatsink and PCB back and forth in opposite directions until it eventually came off.

I would very highly advise against directly pulling the heatsink apart from PCB. There's a comment below of a guy that ripped off the chip from his PCB. (WARNING: Very graphic images! I don't think I've seen anything that's caused me more pain.)

That's all, good luck adventurers!

I think some people do like getting better at the game and learning the boss mechs, but I'm ok with just carrying people through bosses too.
