@zigzagjoe I managed to remove the remaining 16 chips off their boards in under an hour thanks to your suggested method. Around a third of them were stuck on with this glue, and another third have corroded pins that are either just about to fall off or already have. I guess I have around 10-12 chips that will be possible to reuse, but I should test them out (maybe on your qfp2pga design).

Glad to hear you had some success, at least. I'll put it on github when I have a minute.

Glad you salvaged most of them. Yeah, that glue gave me a really hard time but I'm super happy I have that overclocked CPU with FPU now, thanks again! :)
