I recently had two Thermaltake Silent Water fail and I no longer wish to 'try my luck' on a third unit. The trouble is the h-clip is stuck to the bottom of the motherboard with some sort of "super" adhesive. No amount of prying I can do can get it off - any suggestions how to 'unsticky' this thing?

goof-off or goo-gone maybe? Not sure if those are safe to use on electronics, but I think they are. Or you could try saturating it in rubbing alcohol for some time to loosen it up.

I got one of these Tt H-Clips off my mobo, I was sure I broke the mobo after all the flexing involved, but it booted up just fine afterward...I flexed it A LOT TOO 8O
