I always recommend against using liquid metal TIMs on the IHS unless people know what they are doing and know what they are getting into. I posted to show that while it does take a little force to separate the cooler and IHS over time, you definitely don’t have to do any damage. Also you don’t need any sanding to remove the TIM residue.

As to your point, you are right, the combination of the TIM and polish may take some of the printing off, I am waiting for someone to confirm that since I can’t with mine being lapped. The main point I assumed is that I don’t really see anyone talking about using a liquid metal TIM on the IHS unless they are delidded since we use those TIMs on the die. If you are delidded warranty per the markings on the IHS are moot.

Yeah, I understand. It would be the best TIM ever if it could be removed safely without damaging IHS print. I'm very interested in seeing Ultra removed after few months from regular IHS with metal polish or whatever used to remove Ultra safely. I found out about those cons just a few minutes after I made a payment and the process was sadly irreversible frown.gif

You say you were able to completely remove it without sanding but how long did you have it on for before you removed it? I've spoken to lots of people and have seen for myself that Liquid Ultra won't come off without sanding if left on for a good few months. Maybe some kind of metal polish is the secret. I'm going to try it myself and see.

It only does a few c better than a high end regular TIM, so on the IHS is really a personal call. Worth the trouble to some, like me, and not to others.

It was after a month, more than enough time to complete dry and harden. If I didn’t know about the metal polish I would have sanded it too. Alcohol made no difference, I don’t think I would have come up with a way to get it off without sanding had I not known about the metal polish. It also takes about an hour to completely remove it, more like 20 minutes if you just want to get it cleaned up enough to replay the CLU again.

Definitely something I'm going to try once I de-lid the chip and start testing again
