This is an old Dell OEM 9800 Pro I have replaced with an X1950 Pro. It's working it's just got old thermal paste that I want to replace the thermal paste, but this is my first venture into GPU maintenance. The main problem I have is the second push pin holding the heatsink down will not come off and I'm afraid I'll break something. I'm guessing removing/replacing the TIM is the same as it would be on a CPU, but I'd rather get help and get it right than do something stupid. I wanted to use some AS5 or the remainder of the Antec Formula 5 I have (suggestions on TIM please). I also would like suggestions on how best to clean the fan. I used a small vacuum with extension to get it as "clean" as it is now

. This cooler is far superior to the stock cooler and needed if overclocking is considered. It does take up another slot, but it exhausts the heat out of the case. It is very quiet as well.
Ahhh....those were the days......
