Installation

Before you start: you don't have to take your cooler off of your card to do this upgrade. Just be extra careful not to damage the card if you leave the cooler on.

1.Remove shroud

Unscrew the four screws that hold attach the shroud to the copper plate. If your card is still assembled, pay special attention to the ones near the PCIe gold fingers so you don't damage those.

2.Remove fan

The fan is attached using 2 screws and spacers in the rear. If the card is still assembled, don't forget to unplug the fan carefully.

3.Put new shroud into place

Place the shroud with fan next to your card and plug in the fan header. Pivot the shroud into place on the heatsink.

4.Install shroud

Use the four screws from the first step to screw the new shroud back into the copper base.
