It's glued on with thermal epoxy.
I removed fan, tried to heat it up and remove it but
no luck, it wont come off.
maybe i need to run computer longer?

any idea?
any sites that shows how?
thanks

As quirky as this might sound, stick the card in a freezer bag and toss in in the freezer for about 5 minutes. The cold makes the compound brittle, easier to get off. Make sure the card is at room temp before you try this, as an extreme quick temp drop can ruin some componants
