Cleaning my 6870

[gwobbles]

Hi guys, I'm a bit of a clean freak so theres a little dust in my 6870 but not sure how to open it up (i havent taken a look for screws or w/e yet) i tried to look for a guide or video on the internet but no luck, i just wanted to see if anyone can point a few things out for me please and would it void the warranty if i open up the plastic cover?

Thanks!

there are normally screws on the back.
I think that you may have to gently wedge a scewdriver between the plastic and the card and prise it open. Then you should see the screws.
NOTE: THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. ARE YOU SURE???

Err.. I hate to be a noob but why not let it spin up? I've been using compressed air this week and haven't held the fan. Chance of "FUBAR" for my graphics card?
