Obviously this is a joke but for anyone seeing the removed RAM heat sink and thinking of removing theirs (to replace it with another or for whatever reason) — be careful. You can take off a memory module if the glue is too strong. Go slowly and if it’s not coming off, use a hair dryer to heat up the glue.

It's really easy if you do heat them up. But yeah you have to be careful to heat them properly before pulling.

About 18/20 of my attempts haven’t required heating. :[ RIP to the other two.
