Yeah, load the cores get to 84c Anyone know of any solvents I can pick up that will corrode the rubber sealent stuff and leave the CPU itself undamaged?
I was just kidding around Active cooling is recommended, they get so hot when running Windows memtest or even the bootable cd memtest, hotter than just Orthos/OCCT etc. Same with the NB, that Windows memtest app makes my NB hit 50*C.

I would try to avoid industrial solvent, acetone may be too harsh, and isopropyl alcohol (that I use to clean pretty much everything) may not be strong enough.

Cut it through with a razor blade, then gently heat the IHS with a lighter (not too hot) and remove it. Should come off I think the 4400's are just paste aren't they not the indium solder?
