How are you guys removing the sticker Newegg's placed over the L3 bridges?

Although I don't have that chip I assume that if you overclock you void your warranty anyway and only if you're OCing and want to unlock the lower multies then remove it as your warranty is void anyway. but if u'r not modding the chip then don't remove it

30 days warranty for what?
Anyway it expires in 30 days....
You may use at its stock speed for 30 days and take the sticker out and overclock it...

I got a sticker that covered the L3 bridges (click here to see) but as you can see they did a shoddy job putting the sticker on.
In response to juninjesus's comment, newegg offers extended 1 year CPU warranty for $5, and this is a popular option even among overclockers. If you only need to close one bridge, sometimes that is easier to make removable (so as to escape detection).
As far as removing the sticker is concerned, see if you can do what I did - try peeling it back carefully with an xacto knife, if you can't then you'll have to weaken the adhesive somehow but I don't suggest that you use steam
Let us know if you figure anything out.

What about using a hairdryer to weaken the adhesive? It works well on the xbox warranty sticker however, that's plastic whereas this is organic.

dude you think a hair dryer is going to get hotter than that core gets on there organic or not no way you would even hurt the chip with hot air, that cpu gets up to 85degrees before its at its threshhold thats approximatley 180degrees that would be one hell of a hair dryer..

no no, I wasn't sure if it'd have the same effect considering the difference in bonded surface.

If this is in response to my statement, I think you misunderstood what I'm saying. I was not implying the chip would be harmed at all, it most certainly wouldn't. However I have this same sticker on my chip and I've studied the adhesive on the sticker. If you heat this type of adhesive it gets nasty messy and wont come off the chip gracefully, whereas if you were to cool the sticker a little bit (take it outside), it would certainly come off with very little resistance and no residue.

Peel slowly - mine came off without a trace. I put it carefully on the plastic case that the chip came in for later reference.
