Does your current card have screws holding the heatsink on or little plastic pegs? I'm guessing screws...

Well it has arrived.

Jeff: yeah it has screws
 
Here are some pictures I took while taking the old one off and putting the new one on. I forgot to take a picture of the core with the new thermal compound applied. But as you can see from the shot of the core with the old compound on it still, it only needs to be enough to cover the core... none should squeeze over the sides and make a mess.
 
Thanks for the pics. I have been and will be busy for upcoming days so I want to do it on a day were im not busy and have all day for it. Dont want to rush through it and mess it up
 
FOR ANYONE with PCI-E CONSIDERING ARCTIC SILENCER 5...

make sure you get the right revision of AS5... I bought the wrong one and spend the whole night sawing the plastic air duct to fit my case. just a warning heh.
