Just finished pulling my IHS off, I was a little intimated with some of the things people had said ... but as stated before just be very careful and DO NOT force the razor blade. Just work it around slowly. I found that starting on the corners and working my away from each corner was easier than starting at the opening people had stated they had done. Not saying my way is any better, but it happened to easier for me. This was done on an older NewCastle so we'll see what temps are soon.

The thermal paste seems to be applied well, but mine was fairly hard, almost like putty. Does every one else have the same consistency I do?
