Hi all. Anyways, I just epoxied on a blorb to my Voodoo4 and I was wondering how to remove the 50/50 mix of epoxy and ASII? I was just wondering cause I wanna relap the blorb and use AS Epoxy instead of Alumina. Thanks you guys.
heres my trick.. ive done it 5 times so id like to say it works well
1. freez the card for about 20mins in a anti stsic bag. (watch for condenstation.
2. get something plastic, like an old ccard or a pen cap (it was in the kicten, heck it worked once! but broke the second time hehe)
3. use the cc to to gently pray the hsf off the gpu.. i usualy do a lil to each coner, then what ever coner i can get the card in the most is where i pray the hsf till it pops off..
try that, if you be carefull enough, but apply enough force it will pop off. mine seems to make a horrid crack sound, which always scares me.. but knock on wood *knocks* it hasnt failed me yet.
dish soap and some nail polish remover (asatone) with either paper towls of Q-tips will get the epoxy/ac2 off. it took me about an hour alone to totaly clean off all the epoxy.
id reckamend you get AC3 and Atric Alumina Epoxy (

hope this helps
