here, however, the rubber sealant is VERY thin. pushing the blade in was very hard, and i can NOT move the blade (hence i cant cut towards the middle) after i push the blade in. i guess a thinner blade is the only way to go. can anyone post pics of blades they have used to remove core2 ihs?

if i take a blade out of a triple blade razor, i cant apply enough pressure to cut because the blades are too flexible, hence they wobble

i feel stupid. never even had to post for A64 IHS. grr@intel

thanks for all the replies!
why do you soak the cpu in nail polish remover?
