My chipset fan for my GeForce2 died recently. I think it was just for "show" since the cards chipset hasn't increased at all.

Regardless, I want to replace the HSF with a real cooling solution. However, I noticed after removing the factory fan, the HS appears to be epoxed to the chip. Is there any way of removing the themal epoxy? I tried pulling and twising lightly, but I'm afraid I'll yank the whole thing off the card.

Possible? Or and am I up a shi** creek without a paddle?

You da man! Thanks for the link.

If the can doesn't work, I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind if I use the freon from our old fridge. Just kidding tree huggers.
