Removing bulit in heats sinks from fiber cpus

depends on the cpu. But for AMD cpu's and a few others with the attached aluminum heatsink, i boil a cup of water and drop it in. Let it sit for 5 minutes and comes off easy. I think i used a knife or flathead to push it off. Still using heat, but a cheaper heat. havent tried this method on green fiber or p4 chips.
