Soak both cards in gasoline and light them on fire. :mrgreen:
Seriously, try spraying a little rubbing alcohol underneath the GPU HSU. Let it sit for awhile and see if it dissolves the thermal pad enough for you to remove the fan. You might want to try it a few times before attempting removal.

That's nice.
OP - I can't imagine a Riva TNT2 producing enough heat to 'meld' itself to the heatsink. Use the alcohol suggestion Anoobis provided, it's likely just the old heatpad/thermal goo sticking it together.
