a pc i ned to remove it for a new cooler

What computer, and are you talking about opening the case, or disassembling a part?

This sort of procedure varies wildly from model to model, so the details are important. The more detail you can share, the better.

A heat gun would work the best. A hair dryer would also be a good bet. Heat it up and use a credit card or something to carefully work it off. Take your time doing this so you don't damage anything.

I think he just has a bracket on the back of a motherboard. Corsair does this and they include adhesive strips to stick between the backplate and motherboard.

The backplate of the cooler is held on with screws, not glue.

The motherboard has an integrated backplate the you should NOT remove.

If you're not careful it could. It's tedious, and don't heat it up too much, but if you work it up little at a time it will eventually come off. I haven't done it with a pc, but I have replaced a smartphone screen using a pizzazz. Someone else might have better advice, but that's the only way I know how to remove it.

Some coolers bolt into the motherboard's backplate. Can you post a photo?

UPDATE: I went through the documentation for the TX3. It does NOT have a backplate. It uses Intel-style push-pin mounting locks.
