Removing TNT2 GPU Heatsink

[Tab]

Anyone have any ideas how do this? Its on their pretty good. I have a large heatsink I want to put on it so I dont need to use the noisey fan.

Either freeze it in a static bag and just pop it off which is what i do... or pry it off gently with a butter knife which is what some people here do instead.

How do I remove the access thermal paste on it?

I have no idea how you remove the "access" thermal paste, but to remove excess thermal paste you use isopropyl alcohol

Use a new razor blade to scrape off the old scrusty compound. Then clean it up with isopropyl alcohol.

use something plastic to scrape off the old paste. Only use a razor blade if it is really stuborn and wont come off.

You dont want to slip and cut a trace or something bad like that.

Goo off should get any stubborn paste off, plus you won't cut or dice the gpu.
