anything that works. and what about the temp probs

yeah unless you just installed the heatspreaders, it's near impossible to remove them without fux0ring your RAM chips.

As for the temp probes I have no idea.

Leave it in the freezer over night, that might help undo the adhesive. Other people do this with GPU RAM sinks. I don't have a link offhand, though I'm sure a search on this site would reveal something. Be careful though, cause most of those techniques involve twisting, not sure if you can do it with the RAM. And I'd be wary of other little metal clips or whatnot built in.

Temp probe, just lay it next to the GPU, and for the CPU, stick the wire through the ZIF socket and lay it under the proc. There should be info from a search readily available as well.
