I was trying to take my heatsink off my chip to replace it and removed the clips, pulled the heatsink off and it comes out with the chip still attached.

heatsink: coolmaster
processor: Celere 2.4

The heatsink came with a thermal sticky pad and it's holding onto the chip really good :(

Any ideas on how to remove the chip w/o damaging it?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, had a heatgun and tired that still didn't work, so I borrow my GF acetone and a razor blade and it worked, thanks for the link Spikey217!
