@DJqurt... It's not that simple on a GTX260, there must be clips or hidden screws somewhere. I don't want to break it it's only a few days old.

Not really because all the screws I can see are removed including the DVI nuts (just incase they where holding anything)

The thermal paste and thermal pads are sticky. Those are probably holding your HS and card together after removing all the screws. Just wiggle the heatsink around a bit to break the bond and then seperate.

Just incase anyone else is wondering what hold the GTX260/280 together. The answer is in this picture. The actual GTX labels obviously have to be removed to uncover all these screw points.

It was actually getting to all the screw holes that I was struggling with DuckieHo as they are hidden.
