Never fitted a aftermarket cooler on a GPU. So I'm a bit nervous. I have, the Vortexx Neo cooler, Zalman heatsinks, Akasa TIM clean fluid, some non fibre towels, some MX-2 thermal compound and some extra thermal tape should I need it.

Can anyone run me through an A-Z for idiots guide of how to remove the stock cooler and fit this one? I don't want to make any mistakes.

Some things I was curious about. How do you ensure the heatsink is level with the chipset? How do you apply the thermal compound? How much of it do you even use? Just a few of many questions I have whizzing through my head.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
