Not sure if this is the right place but some information for you guys.

Some time ago I bought and used some Coolaboratory Liquid Ultra TIM, I was later warned although very effective it is very difficult to remove.

Now the time has come to remove my cooler and the effects are seen here.

Pretty much nothing on the CPU (Phew!) It also wasn't stuck.

But...

The stuff on the cooler is like solder! Luckily the cooler is broken so will be disposed of anyway.

So if you want extreme TIM then OK but be careful in the future. I think I'm lucky it didn't leave anything nasty on the CPU. I won't be using this again.

I'm wondering if I should be worried that it didn't stick to the CPU?

60 minutes and I should get my Antec replacement cooler.
