Intel IHS removal... Any reason boiling water couldn't be used?

[Methylphenidate]

Alright well our server died at work, so I can't do anything here, so I guess I'll do a step by step guide.

1. Cut the rubber around the outside of the IHS. Use my picture for reference of where the components are inside. Keep in mind though, my chip is a B1 ES, so slight changes may have been made.

2. Find a cooking pot with a flat bottom

3. Put some kind of TIM on the chip, and stick it to the bottom of the pot

4. Put paper towel around the chip, and over top of it to keep it from bumping anything when it pops off

5. Heat the stove element completely ahead of time (until it is red hot)

6. Put the pot directly on the element so that the CPU is directly over top of the heating area

7. I heard two *pop* sounds, then I took it off, and the CPU was free

Well done! I can see loads of overclockers using this technique to remove their ihs's
