I have a visiontek geforce 3 ti200 with the standard fan and heatsink thing (tahts the big square blue thing i think, and its on the ram chips too) And i took out the two black tab things, but i couldn't get the dang thing off, i guess it has thermal paste or something, so how do i get it off? i took out the fan itself and my borb wouldn't fit in it , thats what i'm trying to install...
 
So you can't take the heatsink off? Put the taps back in and run some games to heat it up or stick it in the freezer. Then use a screwdriver to pop it off, putting a credit card between the heatsink and the pcb. I think visiontek cards use thermal grease.
 
ok, i tried my best to get it off but i don't want to break the dang thing, so if i put it in the freezer how long for?
 
................put it in a static bag, and into the freezer for 30 minutes. should pop right off. at least that always works for me.
 
i got it off, i just run it all night so it got hot and it popped off, so now i hope its working right, i accidently used both a thermal pad and paste but i took off the pad and just put the paste on.
