THE COOLER & INSTALLATION
Warning — removing the heatsink from most products may void the warranty.
Do so at your own risk.
|
Removing the EN9800GT Matrix cooler is a trivial task. On the trace side
of the PCB there are two pushpins holding down the VRM heatsink, six Phillips-head
screws attached to the ramsink module, and only four screws in the center
securing the actual cooler.
|
|
With the screws off, only a small amount of twisting is required to pop
the heatsink off. If aftermarket cooling is to be used, the tertiary heatsinks
can most likely be left in place — very convenient.
|
|
The cooler's three heatpipes are soldered directly to a thin copper base
plate. The black portions of the heatsink do not directly aid in thermal
dissipation. They are there simply to provide a stable structure for mounting
and to direct airflow.
