question. when using arctic silver/alumina adhesive, can i twist the heatsink to safely remove it

probably 9 out of 10 times yes...but that one other time you rip a RAM chip in half!:)

in my experiance, it's best to just treat that stuff as permanent. use regular AS and a dap of super glue instead, if you think you might want to remove it later.

twisting can be bad - if you do - do it slow! and easy - ''feel'' the resistance... and be carefull - your better not doing it at all though!
