removing original heatsinks
I'm planning on using a water block for my northbridge chipset, which runs quite hot, but on most of the boards the chip has a heat spreader or full-fledged heatsink. Anyone have any tips on reomving the original heatsink? Thye look like they might be thermal epoxied to the chip.

On my VP6, I just pulled, pushed and rotated the heatsink very slowly and carefully, it came off after about a minute. I'd try that first, if that refuses to work, you can try freezing the board, to snap the heatsink off, or heating it slightly to make the tape become slightly running
