There are a few little things to consider when professionally disassembling the card, which I don’t want to leave unmentioned because they are nevertheless essential. Incidentally, reassembly is carried out in exactly the same (but then in reverse) order, so I’ll save myself the trouble. What we need first, however, is a small bowl for the screws and a magnetic, preferably perfectly fitting Phillips screwdriver (or suitable mini bits).
Teardown in the right order
First of all, we disconnect the small connectors for the three fans (large) and the RGB lighting (small). Asus has done a good job with the connectors, as there is a real clip mechanism that is very easy to release so that the connectors can be pulled off without force. Simply press on the nose and pull off the plug (see yellow arrow):
I always remove these connectors, because the thick cooler means that the PCB will then always hang on these cables, which is not really nice or helpful. It’s even dangerous if you have to use a bit more force to remove the PCB from the sticky pads or paste and forget about the cables and perhaps tear them off. Because they are not extremely durable.
Asus also screws the backplate to the board from above, but we don’t have to remove the backplate at all. One special feature, however, is the fan cover, which has to be removed completely. In order not to twist anything later because you may have forgotten the screws, first loosen the cover by the three screws on the slot bracket:
Then the four further screws at the rear are used to loosen the cover even further.
The last two screws of the cover are at the end of the card and can also be loosened easily and quickly. You can then carefully remove this cover.
Now loosen the two spring screws of the heat sink in front of the voltage converters. Now the complete cooler is only hanging on the four screws of the GPU clamping cross.
The clamping cross is easy to loosen, but please loosen one side first (long side, see picture) and then the other. Just don’t loosen it crosswise. The reason is simple, because the pressure has already been completely removed from the GPU after two screws have been loosened. This can only be achieved crosswise after three screws.
The next picture shows what you should NOT do because it could damage the small SMD components: place or drop the clamping cross on the board. If you then lift it at an angle, with a bit of bad luck it will act like a spatula or lever. So please don’t copy what I have demonstrated here!
The sight of horror and analysis can be found on the next page, so please turn the page!
