Yea thats not glue, it's probably dried heatsink compound. If you
arent too worried about looks of the cpu afterwards just take
some acetone and drizzle it around the edge of the cpu and sink.
After a few minutes you should be able to gently separate the two.

I'm looking for a source for working MOCHA micro form
factor pc's. You can reply here or see me at the site
in my sig.

Cheers!
