Recently went SLi with a 2nd 7800GT.
My origianl 7800GT is fitted with an Arctic Cooler however its too big and when a 2nd 7800GT is fitted the fan from the Arctic Cooler hits the back of the 2nd card...
No problem I thought so I removed the 7800GT with the AC and placed the new 7800GT in the first slot, then I went to put my original card in the 2nd Slot only for the fan to touch my Audigy2!
So I was going to take off the AC for now and put the stock cooler back on until I get round to getting a couple of VF900's next week.
Only problem is the AC won't give up its grip on my 7800GT
I've unbolted it all, and where usually a bit of a push will just pop it off the mem chips this one will not budge!
It lifts off the core easily enough (like 2-3mm enough to know its not that), but the mem chips are stuck fast. I've only used the blue/gray pads that come with the kit that usually just drop off... usually...
I was litterally pulling the HSF full force (as much as I dared) but had to stop for fear the memchips were going to rip off...
Anyone got a clue how the hell I can get it off!
