also, anyone have tips for taking the HS off w/o damaging the chips? i have yet to try to pull the heatspreader off any mem module i own...
Shim, After taking the clips off, I used a credit card and a small screw driver.... The card I use to protect the pcb, then I slip the screw driver between the card and the HS and twist it working from one end to the other ( hope that make sense, Im not good at explaining lol) ....

With brand new rams, it comes off fairly easy but with used rams, I heat it up first...... Just take your time and never force it.... Ive seen ics coming off with the heatspreaders lol......
