This is my first attempt at disassembling a video card. Im taking apart a radeon hd 6970. If you have never done this before I do not recommend trying this. I have disposable income and I dont care if the card breaks. This card is under warranty and xfx assured me that taking off the fan shroud would not void the warranty. Make sure the manufacturer of the card you are dissembling does not void the warranty for taking off the fan shroud before attempting this. Good luck.
