btw...tis is wut i read from other forum...
QUOTE You got the two (donīt know the word for it) things holding the spreader together. under these things there is metal, so no problem to go with a screwdriwer under these things and pull it off. Then you need to be careful. Mostly (especially OCZ) the spreaders are a bit glued to the modules. So pull them off very carefullywith your hand and no tools, changing the position where you try to take them off. |

QUOTE(miraged @ Sep 3 2006, 03:25 PM) are u serious about the freezing thing?!?!??! I usually remove the stock HSFs from my graphic cards by freezing them (in a plastic air-tight bag) for about 30 mins and then prying the HSFs off the GPU. Never had any problems doing that. Done it for 4 cards already.sure ar... won't that damage ur RAM? |
