What you can do Duke is to use painters tape around the perimeter of the cpu and then lightly skin over the top of it. This works well for a chip you do not intend to be swapping out frequently. Otherwise I agree eraser is better around the cpu for usual benching purposes. The tape method is the one I used for the latest small form build which will be using a Boreas TEC for cooling. I will not be swapping chips in this anytime soon and it will take care of any condensation that might arise.

LOL it was like 6am or earlier i was in my housecoat.
I tried sealing off the cpu with blue tape in that video but it looks like you did it different than i did.

Still like you said, If a person plans on swapping out cpu's then eraser is better in that area. Because once you pull up an edge the rest pulls off with it.

Although i have skinned over skin to repair pulled up edges and that works great.
