Most heatsink/fan units are clipped to the dogears on the
CPU socket. Some others are two peices, surrounding the chip
and come apart after the CPU is removed from the socket.... but,
a few are actually glued to the chip.
If your current heatsink/fan is glued to the chip I would not attempt
to pry it off. These units are relatively inexpensive. I can buy
the best units, (ball bearing fans), for about $8.00, and you should
be able to do as well in your area. I would check out your
local computer component vendor. The price of a new heatsink/fan
is far less than the value of your old chip, which you should be able
to resell.
