beginning to de-lidd the i5-3570k, knife stuck good, grease still present |
different corner now, grease removed - mind you cutting the corners first does the trick |
heat spreader and PCB apart - nasty black glue and grey thermal paste all over the place |
glue removed (finger nails) |
thermal paste removed by means of "akasa TIM clean" (citrus based) |
same done to the i3-3225, although this was the second delidding, I cut myself, which did not happen during the first |
