Warm the card with a hairdryer, and the heatsink should come right off.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP. -

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.

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).is a flower best picked in it's prime or greater withered away by time?
