I am exasperated.

-----------------------------------

I bought a T9300 for putting in my P-6831 for a better option than the stock T5450.

However this thing had to have the most powerful thermal glue I've ever seen and be aware that this is a bad thing. I can't get it off!  Oh and to mention it likes to overheat when starting/running Vista.  Before complaining OMGVISTASS!WTFBBQ! It overheated once in frikkin BIOS. Yes you heard that right.   Any way, I can't remove the glue, even withh all the below:

-85% ethanol
-acetone @80%
-babyoil (lol)
-isopropanol@ 99.9%
-Hairdryer+more IP 99.9
-heating metal rod+ MORE IP 99.9


All I can say is wtf, so I'm shipping back to intel, seeing as absolutely nothing has changed. Not even a scratch.

Let me guess, you used up all the glue? 

When applying the glue you're supposed to apply an extremely fine layer, not the whole lot.

No, this stuff came on the T9300 boxed from intel


EDIT: I wanted remove it to apply AS5, and yes, I know to only apply half-rice sized applications spred over the enitre body.
