I want to know is it easy to take apart and put on AS5 on the chip, because with whatever stock grease is on there, the card runs at 47-50C and that seems pretty hot to me, I would think I should be able to get it running cooler.

Here's the card:

By the way any sites online showing it being pulled apart to do this?

THANKS

Ok I got it, two of them for my SLI box, WOO like 1 hour for 2 cards, that is, I was being REAL careful!

All thermal pads ripped out and good ole AS5 ;)

Looks the same, LOL so I'm not sure it was worth it. Oh well, hehe Next time I won't even bother since these cards have a lifetime warranty anyways.

You put AS5 on memory too? Just wondering, cause you said you ripped out the memory pads.
