Hi all,
this might be an odd question, but how do i remove all the VRM heatsinks from the card? A blow dryer should do?
I have to put the card on liquid cooling so i don't need the Accelero anymore.

Thanks a lot.

what liquid cooling you using a full block or one for the core, yea a hairdryer should warm them up to remove it then some iso to remove the gunk and clean them.

Did you use the glue included in the package? If so they will pop right off effortlessly. Clean the residue off with a pencil eraser or a soft cloth, it comes off VERY easily.
