I've got an Enermax thermal probe (see pic) and a Celeron 1.2Ghz chip. My goal is to get the thermal probe to make direct contact with the CPU die just like I had on my P3 733. What I did there was insert the probe under my waterblock and rested it up against the side of the die. This gave me perfect on die temp readings. My problem with the Celeron chip is that it's got the IHS in my way. I can't get my probe to slide under the IHS to get to the core. My assumption is that theirs some glue holding the IHS to the chip. I think if I can get that out of the way I will be able to slide my probe all the way in so it touches the side of the CPU die.
Any suggestions on how I can get some of the glue out of the way without removing the IHS and without endangering my chip ?
