they are just what you said, stickers.

No. If you remove them, the FBI, CIA, and Interpol are instantly alerted to your exact location.

You remember the punishment for removing mattress tags? 1000 years in prison, and a 300 mil fine.

Now, take that punishment, and multiply it by 3 million. That's the punishment for removing GPU and CPU stickers. Don't do it, Arton. Don't do it.

Almost forgot. It's without Parole.

You will never get out of maximum security prison if you do this.

NO....FULL STOP.....THE FIB oops i mean FBI will knock on your door faster then removing a mattress tag.....


by all delusions of every god i must post the fact this is sarcasm......(we live in this time frame :VGRUMPY:)

but if you do, find a lighter fluid like what goes in zippo lighters to clean up the sticky stuff left behind
NO!

Those are sacred seals that help bind the demon to the silicon prison that harnesses its malignant life force to produce frames! Removing them only weakens the prison and lets them break free!

this is where the lighter fluid comes in.....its a flammable oil base BUT that is what gets rid of the sticky mess left behind....the oil bonds with the sticky stuff making it not sticky and you simply wipe it off.....i always follow up with a windex knock off for a final clean up as the lighter fluid will need to be cleaned up (you dont need much lighter fluid, wet a small spot of a napkin and wipe the spot) then go back over the whole thing with windex

This is the truth. My mattress had a tag that said do not remove and I removed it. I spend the next 20 years in Alcatraz. Don't mess around with stuff like that.

yes but if you leave them on they are a good quick reference for whenever asked your system specs

yes you can.

they should peel off directly, some isopropyl alcohol will weaken and remove the adhesive.

its just advertising.

I've always been a fan of Goo Gone. It's citrus based and does really well on adhesives.

It is, unfortunately, not flammable though.

Your system will be fine, but you won't be.
