Default Installing Scythe Musashi on XFX 4890 XXX?

I'm not sure on how to install this vga cooler onto the xxx, should the stock heatsink be kept, the stock plate?

Remove the stock cooler but keep the VRM plate and install the musashi on top.

you have to unscrew the whole cooler and then unscrew the vrm plate from the cooler and then put it back on.

hello

I think I might have to post a picture. The GPU copper part don't seem to have any screws and seems stuck to the plate.

I can remove the stock cooler part no problem, but the plate and gpu cooling part is not budging.

Kinda off topic, but where did you buy your XXX edition card? I wanna get a 2nd but can't find them anywhere.

On topic: You need to remove all the screws on teh back of the card. Then take off the cooler and separate it from the heatsink. Then put the heatsink back on, and then put the Mushashi over the GPU part.
