Chipset Cooler on a Video Card
CAUTION
:
Removal of the original heatsink my void your
manufacturer’s hardware warranty. Please consult the manufacturer if
unsure, and keep all original parts in case of a return/RMA. Koolance
does not recommend using a liquid cooler on video cards or
motherboards that lack standard mounting holes, or have heat sinks
that are attached with only an adhesive (rather than screws or bolts).
!
Beneath the motherboard, the plastic tabs
must be squeezed together with needle-nose
pliers in order to free the original heat sink.
(Some tabs have locking center pins which
must first be removed from the top.)
Once loosened, remove the original heat
sink. Apply a thin layer of thermal
interface compound onto the chipset if
necessary.
