View Full Version : Video card fan lynchknot March 26th, 2003, 07:47 AM Hello, I bought a video card fan, that I may have to return. I can't seem to take off the old heat sink and fan. The new one is copper and comes as a kit with thermal stuff and all - but does not give instructions to remove the old one. Does anyone know any tricks to do so? Reverend March 26th, 2003, 08:01 AM Here ya go LK GPU Heatsink removal (http://www.overclockercafe.com/Articles/GPU-HSF_Removal/) I have used that removal procedure successfully several times. Just be careful,and take your time. lynchknot March 26th, 2003, 08:09 AM Thanks Reverend. FastGame March 26th, 2003, 11:20 AM You can also put the v-card in a baggie & throw in the freezer for a couple of hours and it'll pop off using the same procedure as Rev's link. You better not break phishhead's v-card :rolleyes: lynchknot March 26th, 2003, 14:23 PM I pulled the fan off and pulled back the label and put a drop of oil in there and it's working now. phishhead's v-card? = :D !! phishhead March 26th, 2003, 14:24 PM hey lynch why dont you wait a few weeks and try it on a different v-card:D lynchknot March 26th, 2003, 14:58 PM yes, the fan is spinning like new again - no sense taking it off now.
