Hi there, I have just sold my 9800xt + tec to a fellow and he's wishing to remove all the insulation / conformal coating to install his own cooler. We are hoping to get some pointers for those who have done this before, how to remove it safely. I'm worried that a resistor or other surface-mount component will be damaged if not done properly.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks. Here's a picture of the conformal on the back, a good amount was used. As for the front ofthe card it spreads basicly from the core out up to the edge of the ram.
