the adhesive you can remove gently with fingernail and/or a plastic creditcard

the best TIM to use is coollaboratory liquid pro or ultra, on the die that is,
pro is harder to remove, ultra is the follow up, the new pro so to speak, and is easier to remove,
pro has the highest w/mk, so gives the best results on the die, but saw some good results with ultra too..
on the IHS and/or base plate cooler any good tim will do

i personally used pro on all sides, die, underside ihs, on ihs, and base plate cooler,
very thin layers..very.. gave me 25+C temp drop
