Guys, so far, temperatures seem pretty good with stock cooler on HIS 4870, but soon I want to fit this akasa cooler.

Just wanna check, are these the 4 screws I need to remove and will they release both the heatsink and fan in one go? The screws you can see quite prominently here, they look like they're spring loaded?

yup

but in all fairness you need to remove all screws most of the time to take off the cooler (looks like they are the only ones on your card).

when fitting the akasa, that's where the only screws are used
 
Ok thanks. There's also a 3 pin connector on the cooler. My 2 sys fan headers are in use by case fans. Can I use the power fan header for it?
