Right now I want to remove my heatsinks from my GPU that i stuck together using thermal tape. I'm having a little trouble getting them to come apart. I heard about using a blow dryer or putting my GPU in the freezer for a bit. What do you guys recommend, thanks!

Its not residue that im having a problem with, its that the heatsinks + tape simply dont want to come off the chips.

Nvm did some experimenting, a knife and a hair dryer is doing great... along with some patience
