Anyone tried this before ?

Its attached with some thermal pad and impossibe to
be removed without force, but the fan is way to loud.

Any suggestions ?

I've never done it but here are two methods I have read about to
remove the old HSF. Put it in the freezer for a while and this will
make the pad brittle so it will just snap off, the other method is to
heat it up with a blow dryer and this will make it soft so it will
come off easily too. Personally, I would try the blow dryer method
first.
