Hi guys,
I have an AMD64 3000+ processor ( socket 939 ). The cooler Ive used is the Gigabyte 3D Ultra Cooler GT.
The problem is I cannot seem to remove this mighty gizmo off the CPU as the thermal paste or whatever you call it ( that you put on top of the CPU heat spreader to capture more heat ) is keeping this glued to the CPU. I read somewehre that if I used this material ( some Shin Etsu stuff that came in a syringe, with the cooler ) I wudnt be able to remove the Cooler off the CPU, but hey comon that doesnt mean it's really gonna be stuck there is it ? I mean I cant even upgrade to a new dual core if i cant remove the cooler off it ? So what do u guys suggest ? Is this the end of CPU upgrades for me ?
