Hi,

I couldn't find any decent guides online, so I just took what I'd learned from forums and videoed it.

This is definitely better than sticking the card in a freezer, super easy. The stock thermal glue is absolutely horrid, I didn't realise how bad it was till I actually went ahead with this. I'm replacing them with larger GPU heatsinks that will use the clip holes in the PCB, which I'll use Arctic Silver as the thermal compound rather than a thermal glue.

Just to clarify, I'm not doing this for overclocking. I'm doing it to preserve the card by allowing it to run cooler.
