Default Geforce FX 5950 Ultra Core sheild removal

Just wondering if anyone has any experiance in removing the metal sheild with teh nVidia logo on it from the GPU of a high end GFX card?

mine is overheating badly, and i think from the look of it the sheild is on at a slight angle, so its not touching properly and causing it to overheat.

I think it has a strip of black thermal glue around the edge with small gaps in some places, but i am unable to cut through it with thread or razor blades

any ideas?
