I removed the IHS on a 2.8C northy with a soldered IHS. I put the edge of a single thin razorblade under the IHS, held the blade with pliers so the IHS was face up, and heated the IHS with a heat gun for about 15 seconds. It popped off and fell a few inches onto my carpet.

It posts fine and there is 5c idle temp drop as measured by BIOS. I haven't tested further because I still need to remove the remaining TIM.
