Not that i'd recommend it, but I took mine off while the PC was still switched on. It more or less just fell off with the slightest pull on it! I had to shut the PC down quick smart though as the temp started to rocket!!!

I then took the normal route for the SB and it was a pain to get off but being patient it did eventually!
