    Warm the card with a hairdryer, and the heatsink should come right off.

        It's not really a thermal glue, but it does tend to soften quite a bit with heat. Enough that you can torque the heatsink off easily.

        The information comes from here. Of course we'd be some of the first people to mod the cards.

              Pinch them together from the PCB side of the board and pull from the component side (unless you wish to push them from the board side)

                  got the cooler off and now realised after trying to drill holes the new heatsink doesnt quite fit over both holes(still covers chip easily though. how do you all attatch your heatsinks(dont want to permanently glue).
