Incredibly dumb mistake (AS Adhesive)

So, I was lucky enough that the epoxy stuck onto the H100i more than the CPU itself.

 

The copper plate on the H100i took a lot of beating with the sandpaper, but if I can I'll get a replacement if I can.

Replacing a single copper plate could be a viable option here.

 

As the CPU, the substance wasn't much on it except a few drops on the edges, thus making it easier to take it with a razer blade.

 

Everything is working great. 

 

I'd like to thank Priller a ton for this, I'll find a repay you for the idea.

I went into the bios and set my core clock to raise the temperatures and I hit about 103 C before it finally pop off by itself (scared the living hell out of me).

*I read that 105 C is the max you should allow it to hit, so it was do or die.

I guess the only thing good about this is that I didn't put a huge glob of adhesive to make it a terrible nightmare.

It took me about an hour and a half to get off the adhesive dried on the H100i, got most out with a flat razer.

 

I also put the copper plate in a cold place for a while so it would help take off the residue..helped a lot.

Even though AS Adhesive is -40 C to >140 C it turned out well.
