I'm on an ABIT spree. First this NF7, thanks to @Robert B. It's been armed with an 2800+ OC'd to 3200, 2GB worth of DDR400, a silver Spire cooler and a Hercules 9700 Pro.
Then, two VP6s await me from the U.S.A, and a special episode 😁.
Gee, just thinking how I began from a simple BE6-II and worked my way up to nearly 5 boards, of which some pretty fancy ones (BP6, IS7-E, NF7, IP35 Pro) feels crazy. I seriously had not expected my quest of acquiring ABITs would end up THIS far.

I always use Zippo fluid to remove that kind of "glue". Had a Medion FX5600XT with that type of gunk and a bit of Zippo fluid loosened it just well. Heck, the same fluid got me a V3 3000 heatsink off without needing to freeze the card.
