VID-400-L06 Installation Guide
v 1.0
Most cards using the VID-400 are disassembled
the same way, although screw holes and heat
sink assemblies of any given model can vary.
The mounting screws on the bottom side should
be removed fi rst. There may be 9 or more of
these on your video card.
Carefully separate the two video circuit boards.
The metal L-bracket and video interconnect must
be paid attention to during this process to avoid
card damage.
The remaining heat sink can now be removed via
its mounting screws. (Unplug the fans for both
video boards.)
Finally, remove all video RAM thermal material.
Thermal paste will be required on both GPU
chipsets, all 16 RAM modules, and the PCI-
Express controller chip (on the main board) after
removing both original heat sinks.
Apply a small amount to each chip, taking care
to coat only the raised center core. The low outer
portion of the chipsets do not require thermal
paste.
Spread the thermal
compound thinly and
evenly to cover each
chip using the paste
packet, or a piece of
thick paper (such as a
business card).
This must be done for
both video boards.
