I want a bigger heatsink on my GTS. It has a heatsink identical to that of creative's (glued on). How can i remove it without screwing my card?

gently twist the HS off.

If you place it in a sealed plastic baggie and pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes or so that will help considerably.

ok.. so it won't damage the card if i put it in the freezer (inside a bag)? thanx

i had to do that with an old k6-2. works liek a charm!

how about the remains of the glue? is there anything that can remove that? Except sandpaper?

carb cleaner. put a little on a rag or cotton ball, and rub.

I used the freezer last time I did this.

Here ya go, my man. This article goes step by step on how to do something like this; with pictures. The procedures are pretty standard with anycard, so although they are doing this with a 32meg Radeon, it should work with your GeForce.
