Bang her in the fridge chEE in an anti static bag for about 10 mins then pry it off with sacrewdriver..:)

Thats what I did with my Giga 9700 default ramsinks...:)

yeah, and make sure you put something between the pcb and the screwdriver to prevent damage. a credit card should work well.

that stuff isn't designed to come off, so be careful. i've seen memory and gpu's ripped from the pcb when removing epoxied heatsinks.
