removing hot glue

just took off the heatsinks on my asus p5k deluxe, and theres some hot glue compound on the northbridge, whats the best way to remove it?

the southbridge is also unmovable by the looks of it, how can i get that off? Heat it up with a hairdryer?

thanks.

Heat it with external method like you said or let it run with no fans and twist it gently side to side and lift off (after removing any pushpins etc).
