Taking apart a EVGA 460

[ImpulsE69]

Anyone taken the shroud off of an EVGA GTX 460 Superclocked? It's the one with the fan in the middle. I have 2 of them I want to re-grease and all the videos I can find show the one with the fan at the back. I tried "popping" it off and I"m not seeing any kind of tabs so I'm afraid I'll break it.

No one? I'm just thinking I must be missing something here, but all my other cards have been ATI so I'm unfamiliar with how these come apart. All it has is the 4 screws on the back for the HSF and from what I can tell, those do not help the shroud come off.

Did you unplug the fan? Are you sure the screw is out near the DVI ports?

This post says the shroud is internally screwed to the heatsink. So I'm guessing removal of the screws on the back of the PCB should remove heatsink with the shroud attached.

I have the same card and was interested in doing this at some point. Post how much your temps drop when your finished.
