I need help, or someone to point me in the right direction as to remove the stock fan cooler on the Sapphire X850XT Pci-E card, which I will replace with a Zalman 700Cu. THanks!
 
unscrew the screws and toss it on the ground so the heatsink falls off

en unscrew the other remaining screws from the copper cooler off of the back of the PCB aswell, should be about 3-5total. not counting the ones ont he backpalte. after yout ake all those off just lift the PCB up and it should unglue from the HSF + the thermal hunk.

sorry for the speling, im not so sober, but thats how u do it, promise.
There should be a bracket on the back of the card, unscrew those two screws. Th
 
Alright, so once I get all the screws out and it unglues/unhinges. What do you suggest I use to clean off the remaining glue and such?
 
Alright, rubbing alcohol works for me. Thanks. I'll come back if I have any questions. :)
