Visiontek Heatsink

[{rf}Rustler]

Has anyone gotten the heatsink off of the visiontek extasy? and if so how do you do it ??????

You'll have to cut the plastic clips that hold it to the card.

Thanks for the reply but mine has that glue holding on.

try cutting the clips off then heating the heatsink up with a hairdryer to losen the glue

heating up will help, but by far not make it come off. The GPU would have heated it up enough for it to fall off long ago. You have to basicly pry it off, i emailed visiontek about it adn they really didnt give me much advice except "it will void your warrenty if you alter the card". I decided its not worth it to me.

play a highend game for an hour and you should be able to twist it off

 

then use alchohal or acetone to get the rest off without hurting the chip

well i got it off but in doing so i broke off a resistor so now my card is screwed hopefully i can find someone to fix it. Ohh well i will never learn to leave stuff alone
