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

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?

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
