does anyone on here have any pictures of how to remove the stock shroud and cooler from the XFX Black edition GTX260? I have did a bunch of googling and searching on here and I couldn't find anything, I got it sitting next to me and i'm just poking at the shroud to see if there is clips or something holding it on.

Edit: I want to remove the cooler to apply some OCZ Freeze instead of the stock TIM

Ummm... all you have to do is remove all the screws on the back, unplug the fan, wipe off the thermalpaste with a lint free rag + rubbing alcohol, apply the new thermal paste and then screw the cooler back on/plug in the fan

It's pretty simple dude

it's all good I figured it out, there are little clips holding the tabs to the shroud. With a little persuasion of a flat head screwdriver I got them to let go.

Removing the plug for the fan was the hardest part of the entire process. I kept thinking that I was going to break something.

Either way, here is guide to installing a waterblock. It has pictures on how to remove the factory cooler. It's pretty straightforward and exactly as killa described.
