HI everybody
I have a Powercolor 9800se. I bought a arctic cooling silencer 1 rev2 because my card is softmoded...works just fine without the cooler but I wanna give it an extra cool .
the problem is that I don`t know how to remove the heatsink.
After I unscrew the 4 knobs and remove the cooler..the heatsink remains that is caught in 2 nail thingies.
In the arctic cooling manual there's a totaly different type of nail..the type where you squeeze it with the pliers and it comes easily throught the hole, well.. mine is different..the end of the nail (tip) is bigger than the hole and can't be squezed...it's kinda forced into it.
Any tips of how to get it out ? some pics would be splendid.
I tried to draw a image ..not very good one..I just wanna show you the type of barb ( nail ) I have.
