Removing original Thermal Compund

If you read my post on my blog, you would have known that I've bought a Thermalright XP-90 cpu cooler. If not, refer to http://comgeek.blogspot.com/2005/07/yay.html for pictures of it.

Th first step for me is to remove the stock cpu cooler and the thermal compound
Removing the stock cooler is easy....
This step is pretty simple, I'm just had to clear away the cables and remove the PCI and AGP cards so I can remove the motherboard from the case. I'm not exactly needing to get under the motherboard to remove the old hsf and install the new hsf correctly, but it was a bit tight to install the coller in the case. The stock cooler is a beast for sure and surely good enough for all but the extremists ( me! ). A couple things to note with the stock cooler, one, I love the "bracket cage" hsf system used with the Intel's and in my combo especially. The "claw" as I like to call it is very unique and holds extremely well. Two, its has a copper core. However for overclocking, it is not a good solution (every overclocker will agree on this). Three, its uses a thermal compound-making the need to remove it too......

So how do i do it?

Simple.
Will post again :)
