Small note... you pay for the cooling block, that means you'll need to order fittings / barbs and clamps, do not forget that. Also get some extra and good quality thermal paste, just in case you need a little extra.

It is always a little weird to completely disassemble a 450 USD product just for some better cooling, but believe me when I say that it is worth it. Let's remove that cooler shall we?

First off, remove all screws on the backside of the graphics card. Now here's the first tip, have a proper quality screwdriver, you'll need a mini-Philips screwdriver, preferably hardened steel from say a brand like Stanley.

The screws are often secured with blue Loctite and man they can be tight and secure! You will probably need to apply some force, be careful when that happens.

Now before you try to take off that cooler, do not forget on the front side there are two screws that need to be removed as well.
