Hello everyone....
Any thoughts on heatsink removal? I've tried the heat gun, brute force, and swearing at it, and it still just won't budge. The CPU even broke a corner off in the process... Any home-remedies or backyard weekend warrior tips to get this thing off? I refuse to play classical music for it to work, fyi....

I would use a small flathead screwdriver and go around all sides carefully to avoid further damage to the chip.
