Installing VGA WC on an MSI Radeon HD 7970

[ConveX]

Hey guys, I was wonderin' (how shocking right?) How do you take the outter case off an MSI Radeon HD 7970 3GB OC (http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=10323) so I can install an Arctic Accelero Hybrid 7970 Liquid Cooling System (http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/vga/589/accelero-hybrid-7970.html)

Cheers, bonus points for video links, but any help is appreciated

I would add that once the screws are loose twist both halves slightly against each other (lid clockwise PCB anti-clockwise) only a degree or two then opposite twist again only a couple of degrees (any more will break capacitors off PCB - you have been warned).

Good luck with project should lower temps by 15 to 20 degrees.
