This is a follow up on my other thread about my fan dying on my leadtek ti 4400 (I would post in the same thread but i have found that old threads have a habit of geting over looked and I don't want to waste 200 or so dollars by messing this up)
My fan has died and I ordered a new heatsink to replace my old one( the . But I realized I have no clue how to go about removing my heat sink safely. here is a picture (from leadtek) of the type of heat sink I have on my ti 4400 (though not my exact card).
anyone have any advice or links to some where that would give me an idea of how to go about removing this huge thing? I have found some sites that take about removing the heatsink but nothing specific to this card/type of heatsink.
As a side question if i have to freeze the card to get the heatsink off, what do I do to make sure there is no condensation?
Any help would be great. I can't reallly afford to replace this card.
