I used Artic Silver 5 when I mounted the waterblock a year or so ago. Will leaving the PC running for a hour or so "heatup" the AS5 so that I can remove the waterblock? Or is there something else I should try?WaterChill CPU cooler stuck to CPU
WaterChill CPU cooler stuck to CPU
I want to upgrade the CPU in my PC, which is watercooled with an Astek WaterChill cooler. The problem is that I can't get the cooler off the CPU I used Artic Silver 5 when I mounted the waterblock a year or so ago. Will leaving the PC running for a hour or so "heatup" the AS5 so that I can remove the waterblock? Or is there something else I should try?

Re: WaterChill CPU cooler stuck to CPU
I left the PC running for a few hours, and was able to gently wiggle the cooler off the CPU. Installed the new CPU and everything is running fine
