Then you say;I never did like applying the AS5, it just seemed overly messy somehow.
Followed by this;Thats what I've always used.A plastic bank or credit card works well too
I've never really warmed to the idea of taking a metal cutting implement to a CPU face, and scraping it along it for some reason. lol.
Channelling Charlie Sheen ?I've tried credit cards, they don't work as well as a brand new single edge razor blade. They make a bigger mess. I like to keep a box of 100 around the house at all times. (Razor blades, not credit cards).

No need, been there, done that.Channelling Charlie Sheen ?

Not that you did, but I know someone that mentioned the likeness between thermal paste and a lottery ticket.

Indeed! "Mr. Hamilton" has most likely, finally, left the building.I'm sure the ever important decision has finally been made, but I'll throw in my 2 bits for AS5.
