My GeForce runs quite hot...not like my voodoo2 did, but not far behind, and it is getting the hot air from the CPU blown right at it. ELSA's HSF is crap, and I really don't feel safe playing for long periods of time with it after touching the back after a couple of hours of serious sam...however, it looks like it may be epoxied on. Is there any safe way to remove it so I can put something more effective on?

Cerb, who fried his poor K7T Pro2-A, and had $200 to blow on a DDR board, and does not like this 333, but will like heat damage to his video card worse.

Take a look at the following link to a good article, but please don't hold me responsible for any damage that may occur if you decide to undertake the procedure outlined in the text. ;) Anyway, good luck! Here's the link: Graphics Card Cooling

Many ppl put the video card inside a plastic bag sealed, and put in the Freezer, I dont remember for how long though. And then twisted gently the HFS and it came off. Theres other way to remove, cant remember right now, just remember this way.
Probably some1 will post better instructions than mine.
But now You know there are easy ways to remove it.
I have a Blue Orb on my GeForce, works nice.

Hope it helps you a little bit!
