trying to clean video card

[kevinf2090]

I have a 8800gts g92 version and i am trying to clean the heatsink on it. I am trying to do this without having to take the whole heatsink off the GPU. is there any way that i can just take the black cover off and just clean the heatsink. just using compressed air with a tube in the small holes doesn't really help that much.

yeah i think there is a way to unscrew the black plastic shroud off on the G92 GTS (I have the G80 GTS and it has 4 screws that attaches the black shroud to the card)

EDIT: 2 of the screws are under the sticker

thanks what about people who do have this card though. also does the sticker still stick if i do peel it off. to take off the black shroud would i have to unscrew all the screws on the bottom of the card? there are 3 screws on the very back that does not connect to any metal and only screws into the black plastic. so besides those 3, what are the other screws?
