Hello,
As you can see from my sig i have an ATI Radeon 9800xt and it is currently watercooled.
I have clued on some ramsinks to the memory modules with "Arctic Silver Alumina Thermal Adhesive " and on there website it says "this Adesive is permanant!"...

Basically was wondering if anyone knows any tricks to be able to remove the ramsinks so i can put the original cooler back on...?

Many thanks

Well.. if it says permanent......

You probably know you'll likely damage your card trying to get them off.

Two options really. Give up now. Or sell it to someone and buy a replacement.
