Can Stock HSF be removed from creative gts2?

[Darthplatypus]

Hi all

I think the title explains the reason for this post. I can't quite see whats holding the hsf to the gpu on the gts2 perhaps frag tape or thermal epoxy i dunno, the question is can it be removed easily?
Has anyone done this without killing their gpu? Surely it is possible but a little helping hand would be much appreciated.

Thanx

go to 2cooltek, for a GeForce2 heatsink ripping guide

I've pried heatsinks off a v5, and GeForce1. Piece of cake, cept the V5 proved a little more difficult.

stick your card in a static bag, then into a freezer. After a few minutes, pull out a flat head screw driver, wedge it under the heatsink, and pull down on the handle of your screw driver.

BASICALLY that's it....but go to 2cooltek anyways.

A butter knife works good too.
