since excessive heat may ruin the chip, would the opposite potentially ruin the chip as well? I can remember sticking my video card into the freezer so I could snap the ram sinks off my geforce2 ultra.

But I think that it doesn't matter

does anyone here actually have one of these chips that they are willing to destroy?

at the end of the thread, it seems that he thinks it's more like a thermal adhesive, no so much a permanent bond.

Which is good, because then maybe it is easier pull off, but then again I dunno.
Intel obviously put something on there that will withstand a wide range of temps, bigben, how you doing on finding that range?
