This stuff is the devil.. I actually got a screw driver, and put it on the IHS gave it a nice knock, and it plopped off.

Edit: BTW when i did this there was no damage to the CPU at all. wOOt
:lastweek:
Good lawd!
thats awful! screw liquid metal, ... and I was considering it too :eek:
I don't get why so few people have heard of the fact that liquid metal does this...

Did some lapping , its copper underneath, I have bought some liquid pro and I am going to try it, the hsf is copper and so is the core 2 duo
:lol: :lol: :lol:
this is why you don't use liquid metal on your cpu!
I use coollaboratory liquid metal. Had it on my opty for half a year with BT TT on. Just twist and pull to get heatsink off - don`t be affraid to use force on twisting :)...not the hammer of course :lol:
BTW it`s on chipset too...with stock DFI NF4 cooler (lapped) - aluminum I guess. Been there for about 3-4 months. Temps are good :D Haven`t took it off to check on corossion yet
lol Cooper... when a company warns you, they do it for a reason... lol
your chipset cooler is going to be a donut :P
Use a heat gun. Let the cpu cool down before starting it. A heat gun is one of the most important tools when modding PC's.
Red whats up Bruddah! Did you get it off yet? If so, how did you do it?
What did Cool Labs say?
i had no reply... so yesterday i sent a "happy" email to them
no, its not off yet... but i have a resolution.
NOBODY EVER USE COOLLABORATORY LIQUID METAL EVER!!!!
I ran at stock volts and disconencted pump.. it went up to 48C i twisted HARD my thumbs are sore. i didnt quite use enough power that i used my biceps... just forearm and wrist, and it wont budge
Damned I have had this stuff on my naked core for over 2.5 months now under liquid cooling. After reading your thread, I panicked and checked mine out and it was not stuck(thanks goodness).
It was cold and I had to twist it but... it was not more stuck than my last batch of AS5. Another thing also, someone mentioned it was really hard to clean but I rubbed it with a camel skin cloth and a bit of acetone and it rubbed right off on both surfaces. There is however a tiny bit of residue which seems to of filled some tiny depressions on the die but I don't care much about that.
I wonder why your surfaces have fused like this. I am using a Storm waterblock on a naked 165. Needless to say I reapplied the stuff and remounted everything :)
I wonder if perhaps your didn't have any residue on your core or waterblock surface when you mounted it to cause a reaction?
I should add also that my core has never seen a day past 39c :) perhaps heat plays a factor in this?
same here with never going over 38C
but i twisted :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing hard... i used my wrist and forearm to not rip the mobo in half... and the whole socket was flexing.
Red...mine came off extremely easy. The hardest part about taking my heatsink off was trying to get the clasp off of the motherboard mount.
It cleaned off the heatsink (Scythe Infinity) and cpu (w/ IHS) very easy.
Here are my pics before and after cleaning.

As you can see the copper has some silver spots. The CPU cleaned up very nice. There are a few small spots on the IHS that were not there before. Overall there were no problems.
Are you sure you didn't apply some of your "secret sauce" with the liquid metal? :D
:banana::banana::banana::banana: ok i got it off :banana::banana::banana::banana:
i twisted it really hard for a very long time, then i tryed to pull up and it worked
shonuff, how did u clean it?
I cleaned with a paper towel first followed by some acetone. I got the acetone from Sally Beauty Supply a while back.
Red I wonder what you did different to cause it to stick like that? Anyway…from now on I am going back to Ceramique. The more reviews I see on Liquid Metal the more it reveals itself to be “As good as” what we have been using.
You have "in-coming".Quote:

@shonuff i used some nail polish remover, but it said it was non-acetone, so i think i need some real acetone
No keep it! you can use it for permanent heat sinks that way you don't need to get epoxy :D
lol i think it only bonds to metal
