Thanks again for your help!

I've never bought an assembled computer with a heat sink. The 1986 PC-
AT clones back then needed no cooling - probably because they didn't
do much work. The AMD processors came with heat sinks with thermal
pads already attached. When these melt into place they get slightly
ornery at removal time but clean off easily with alcohol. Then I use
either plain white heat sink compound or the Arctic Silver.

Have you gotten them separated yet?
