Hi guys. i heard that i should heat up the thermal paste before taikng the cpu cooler off. I did heat it but the cooler kept sliding on the surface of the processor and won't get off. I came to the conclusion that its same as non heated paste. I twist the cooler and take it off which i find safer. with heated paste the heatsink is glued to the CPU but it slides on it and when i was taking it off i felt like i was gonna take out the CPU with the heatsink.
