How to open up a Geforce 275 GTX (top cover)

unphoto

Hi guys,

a quick question...i want to clean my stock cooler/fan of my Zotac 275 but i have NO idea where to open it up.
I googled and the nearest info that i can find is to disassemble the whole video card...i think thats a bit extreme.

My former card was a 8800 GTX en that had just 6 screw on the top to open it but this is a but more of a dillema.

There are millions of screws on the bottom but they are connected to the heatsink that covers the entire PCB.....any tips? ( preff. with pictures

)

just be carefull, i tried to open a msi 8800gt and i saw that the metal top cover had glue on it so i kinda bended the metal part now the air flow is not good as it was wen i just purchace it, so if you just want to really clean it my advice is to get a can of compressed air and clean it. and dont deal with the metal cover.

hehe yeah it can be troublesome...i dont understand why they made it all so difficult...isn't it normal to be able to open up your hardware to clean it...?
