Sounds like older silicone based thermal glue. Like the previous guy said heat it up with a hair dryer and then clean everything up good with rubbing alcohol. Check that you didn鈥檛 damage either the pins on the processor or the socket when it pulled out (hope not) when you reassemble use silver based thermal grease (cost about $2-$5 a tube) it is better at heat transfer than the old glue and wont stick next time.How can i remove Processor stick with heat sink with glue Adhesive?
It is not adhesive, it's heat sink compound. Usually if you hold the heatsink and gently rotate the processor back and forth the compound losens. Alternativelt gently insert a flat blade scredriver blade between them and gentle twist to prise them apart (Note the word GENTLY)





You will then have to clean ALL the compound off both sides and put NEW heat sink compound on b4 you refit it all. otherwise you run real risk of the CPU overheating
pls define your processor type or mother board model
When I remove the heat sinks I heat it up with a hairdryer. All you need to do is heat it up enough to slide the processor off.





You could also try to wedge a credit card between the 2 but be very careful.





Then to clean it off use some Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol
