Does anyone have any tips about removing the gigantic heatsink of the Gigabyte GV-RX165P256D-RH? It's the Radeon x1650 passively cooled that used to sell with Civilization III bundled.
It's overheating like hell and it seems that the part of the HS contraption that should touch the GPU is a little far from the card (although the whole heatsink is getting very hot. Funny, if it really doesn't touch the gpu properly).
I think the first thing to do would be to reseat it, but as it uses heatpipes that link the blocks on both sides of the card, it may require some special tricks.
Besides, I must add, I have changed my cpu HS many times, but never touched a GPU hS.
Any tips are greatly appreciated
thanks
