I hope thats not your CPU 
I have heard of some solution that people use to remove them but can't remember what it is.Owned hahaa.
They've soldered on the IHS since the Northwood "C" revision iirc.
To remove the IHS you must get the CPU rly hot, around 55*C+, in windows.
Then proceed to shut down or cut the power and remove the HS/F fast, then cutting around the epoxy. Then repeating the heating up phase, then shutting down, removing HS/F, and slightly lifting on it. Do that again and again and again and you'll successfully remove it

55C wont do jack****. Its an epoxy. To break it you have to clamp ur processor and hold it in place and then use a jeweller's torch to heat the IHS and then slice it. But it doesnt matter though , the Epoxy/solder is good for heat transfer since it conducts metal to metal. What you really need to worry about is the IHS being flat or not. If you have a flat IHS on an intel , then u are getting close to 90% heat transfer which is great IMHO. Just lap the IHS and watch how ur temps fall.
@ Nicks : Every Northwood that I have owned/seen did not have an epoxied IHS. They started doing that with a late revision Prescott. You could pop the cherry of an early rev. Prescott just like u did on a Northwood.

The soldering is not with normal solder, but silver solder I beleive. 55C wont do jack, but I have removed IHS's before. It is quite hard and with intels does not offer much benefit. AMD does not use a silver solder and therefore gains much more benefit.
BTW, you need closer to 170C.

orrrr.... you could do it the easy way and quickly hit it with a mapp gas torch
Actually frag is quite close to a good way to do it.
You take a 1/4" copper plate and clamp is on to the cpu ihs, and have foam covering the back. Heat up the copper slowly, and with silver solder bond the IHS to the copper plate, then start pulling the copper plate away and dig around the IHS base.
There are many ways, but I still prefer using a peltier.
