troGGers Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I have a MSI 6600GT and ordered a new Zalman VGA cooler. I'm just having a bit of trouble removing something. I got the main unit popped off quite simply after putting it in the freezer. The only thing now is the circled area in the picture attached. Does it just take some brute force, is it removable at all, or is there some special trick? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Please help soon. Trying to get my whole system transferred into my new Thermaltake Tsunami tonight. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/356566-replacing-vga-cooler/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

stncttr908 Veteran Posted August 10, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2005 I can't tell if those are clips on the AGP bridge or not. It might be clipped on, but I imagine there is still some paste underneath.

troGGers Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I just had to pinch the clips and push it through as previously mentioned. Thanks :D. Now...the VGA ram heatsinks that came with my zalman cooler....does on go on that removed piece? I assume so since there was a heatsink in place and I guess I'll just take the tape off and apply artic 5 to it since the it's only 1/3 of the bottom of the ram heatsink that contacts it. Or do I just leave it open? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/356566-replacing-vga-cooler/#findComment-586353867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chconline Veteran Posted August 10, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2005 I have loads of experience modding ATI cards, some you can just push up those plastic clips and cut them (We wont need the cooler anymore anyway! So get it out fast) or some you cant push up (Like my aiw 9800 pro) all I did was crap a pair of scissor, grip the clip things on the fan and rip it out. Works great. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/356566-replacing-vga-cooler/#findComment-586353908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
